Straight No Chaser Biography

If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses … think again. While Straight No Chaser did form on a university campus, the group is neither strait-laced nor straight-faced – but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch.

The nine-member a cappella group originally came together at Indiana University in the mid-1990s. The group reunited and gained new momentum in 2006 when member Randy Stine uploaded their 1998 performance of “The 12 Days of Christmas” to YouTube to share some college nostalgia with friends.

For the next decade, the group put a cappella on the map – bursting on the scene before pop culture phenoms like “The Sing Off” and “Pitch Perfect.” They were signed to Atlantic Records, developed a massive fan base through touring, and sold out venues.

Their long list of accomplishments to date includes two RIAA Gold-Certified albums, Holiday Spirits and Christmas Cheers; over 1.5 million concert tickets sold; over 1 billion streams on Pandora; and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Their latest album, Yacht on the Rocks, released in June 2023.

Alongside their successful headlining tours, the group has had dozens of major television performances and collaborated with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder.

The nine-man act of Walter Chase, Jerome Collins, Seggie Isho, Michael Luginbill, Steve Morgan, Jasper Smith, Randy Stine, Tyler Trepp and Freedom Young offers the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense … and with a sense of humor.
