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.

This is a fantastic piece!!! A 4 of 4 star review and some great photos, too!

All the convolutions and hilarity covered an uncommon mastery of the vocal arts delivered with pinpoint timing, merciless key changes and tempo variations that proved Straight No Chaser is just that — pure, undiluted pleasure.

Love this! “People often ask how long we’re going to do this,” (Seggie) said. “My answer is always, ‘I’m going to do this until people stop coming to the show.’”

“A woman in Kansas City said the show was the first time in 15 years her three kids and family had all been in the same place. Another woman said she has terminal cancer and hadn’t smiled as much as she did in our show for a very long time. How blessed we are to be able to do that for people."

Straight No Chaser review: Make mine a double

I agree that the original songs they do have are fantastic and I would LOVE to see more!

SNC’s many-layered version of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” was better than the original, perfectly plush — if the texture of velvet became music, that’s what it would sound like.

I found myself wishing for something I didn’t know — an original, non-holiday number on the level of the fantastic “Who Spiked the Egg Nog?” or the group’s peppy theme song.
