"I had the John Denver and the Muppets' Christmas album, which was quite fantastic," (Don) said. "When I got a little older, Take 6 had a Christmas album that was out when I was in high school. That's one that kind of influenced me into doing what I do now."

“This is more of a pop album,” said Jerome Collins, calling from Wisconsin. “We have some amazing guest artists who are going to be on this album, which is going to offer a new Straight No Chaser."

Trepp, who was a telecommunications major and a music minor, didn’t go overnight from the college choir to the professional circuit.

He first cut his professional performing teeth on cruise ships for two years, before joining the pro version of Straight No Chaser in 2009.

“There’s a learning curve when you get into a group like this, when you’re performing for 1,000 people a night,” he says. “Four years later, it’s going pretty well.”

TAC: What is something you have gotten to do on this journey that you never thought you would have ever had the opportunity to do?

TAC: Kind of touching on the craziness again, the ladies obviously love you. What is the craziest fan experience you’ve ever had?

TAC: You are SO loved in Atlantic City. You guys used to have a long-running show at Harrah’s Resort. What do you like about performing most here?

TAC: Can you tell us what your favorite number is from the show?

TAC: Most recently, Ryan just announced that he is leaving the group. Walter’s blog about him made us teary! How do you feel about this?
