Straight No Chaser
Tivoli Theatre
Thursday, Sept. 23, at 7:30 p.m.
In the Fall of 2008, ATCO/Atlantic Records unveiled a rather unlikely major-label release--an album of Christmas music recorded by Straight No Chaser, a 10-member a cappella group that hadn't sung together since their college days at Indiana University a decade earlier. Discovered on YouTube and fueled by appearances on the Today Show, ABC World News Tonight, and CNN Headline News, SNC's "Holiday Spirits" spent 14 days in the Number One spot on Amazon and 5 days #1 on iTunes. Now they're bringing their harmonies and humor to the Tivoli stage. (Not a Christmas show.) All seats are reserved from $29-$39 in advance ($5 higher day of show). The usual convenience fees apply. Tickets are on sale now online at ChattanoogaOnStage.com and at the Auditorium box office. Call 757-5050.
