Chart-topping a cappella group Straight No Chaser celebrates their 25th anniversary with a 62-date fall tour, making a stop at Old National Events Plaza on December 15. 

According to group member Steve Morgan, Straight No Chaser formed during the 1996-1997 school year at Indiana University as a “way to meet girls.” The group eventually emerged at the forefront of the modern-day a cappella movement and has since garnered more than a billion streams, sold over three million albums and 1.5 million concert tickets worldwide. 

“When we started Straight No Chaser as college kids at Indiana University, we never imagined that 25 years later, we’d have two albums certified gold and tour dates around the world,” said group member Walter Chase. “What a ride it has been. It has literally been a dream come true.” 

In commemoration of “The 25th Anniversary Celebration,” Straight No Chaser will release an exclusive NFT to mark the occasion. Additionally, PBS stations nationwide will air “Straight No Chaser: The 25th Anniversary Celebration,” starting this June. The concert features the nine group members performing classics like “Proud Mary,” “Lean on Me” and “Twistin’,’” as well as pop mashups, like “Uptown Funk and Thriller.” 

Earlier this year, Straight No Chaser released a book of cocktail and food recipes, sharing family traditions with their fans. Straight No Chaser Sound Bites: A Cappella, Cocktails, and Cuisine, is a recipe book with personal family memories shared with the broader Chaser family. The book, published by Red Lightning Books (a sister company of IU Press), is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Red Lightning, and Straight No Chaser’s site. 

Known for their soundtrack to the holidays, Straight No Chaser will release a physical version of last year’s deluxe edition of Social Christmasing this fall. The album featured an original, “Christmas Show,” written by group member Mike Luginbill and “Celebrate Me Home,” featuring Kenny Loggins, in addition to the album’s original tracklist which includes their signature twist on Christmas classics like "Silver Bells" and "Frosty The Snowman," five new original songs, and a hopeful take on the Counting Crows classic "A Long December."
