Straight No Chaser Brings Christmas Cheer to a Sold-Out Crowd

As a whole, the show was more than just a concert; it was a production. With an elaborate setup of risers, incredible lighting design which added to the changing mood and atmosphere of each song, and witty banter between songs, Straight No Chaser showed that they are more than just a bunch of choir geeks; they are true performers who are making a cappella cool again.

Straight No Chaser
Dec. 9
The Wiltern

It’s one thing to feel your seat rumble while you’re listening to
heavy bass in hip-hop or electronic music. It’s another thing entirely
to almost feel the same thing when that bass is coming from one
person.

That is exactly what happened during “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,”
one of the highlights of a cappella group Straight No Chaser’s
outstanding sold-out show at The Wiltern Friday night.

Also impressive was the vocal range of Tyler Trepp, whose ability to
sing into the stratosphere (completely on pitch) was stunning.

Wow, it's a nice review, but I also just love the wording in this one! Kudos to Ms. Farrar for some excellent writing.

The remarkable vocal range of the group truly captivated the audience for hours. There was not a single instrument on stage to mask an off-key note, but these guys did not need any instruments to disguise imperfections.

Every song was drenched in the group’s unique take on the song, but was also reminiscent enough of the original that two fascinating worlds collided.

"It's always amazing when you see all the people who have come out (for the show)," (Tyler) said. "It's great because more and more people know what a cappella is now."

“We were No. 29 on billboards for our last non-holiday album [With a Twist], which is kind of an award within itself. I was pretty surprised about that. That was pretty cool,” Trepp said.

"I was in a musical off campus and a friend of mine said he had heard about this really great group on campus and I should check them out," Isho says. "So I went out and gave it a shot and ended up making the group."

Last August, Straight No Chaser singer Dave Roberts got a note from a female fan who'd been wowed by his stage presence at an Atlantic City show. "I was lucky enough to sit near the front and really got to experience the eye contact and famous Dave Roberts smiles that everyone is talking about," she wrote. "I love your baritone voice."

Straight No Chaser's show at Musikfest makes the wait seem worth it

...what a triumphant return: headlining Musikfest’s Steel Stage with a show lasting nearly two hours, covering 22 full songs (or mash-ups of songs) and three medleys that included parts of 26 others, running a broad variety of styles and ranging from good to stunning.

The audience was so enthusiastic that it created perhaps the largest gathering directly in front of the stage so far, with members of the group calling it Straight No Chaser’s first mosh pit.
