Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch.

On the road, Straight No Chaser has built a reputation as an unforgettable live act.

The summer run follows the group’s recently wrapped “The Speakeasy Tour” in support of last summer’s “Six Pack: Volume 3” EP that saw Straight No Chaser crack open a number of contemporary pop hits and rock classics, highlighted by “Sweet Dreams/HandClap” – their one-of-a-kind mash-up of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” and Fitz and the Tantrums’ “HandClap” – as well their show-stopping “Beyoncé Medley.”
