Indiana's Straight No Chaser is an all-male a cappella group renowned for its intricate vocal harmonies and popular holiday-themed albums. Their name is influenced by the title track of Thelonious Monk's 1967 album, Straight, No Chaser, and is a deliberate evocation of the popular American slang term frequently used to ask for a drink.
SNC's debut was at a 36-hour dance marathon. The original ten remained together from 1996 until 1999 when new students were selected to replace the graduating members. Straight No Chaser continued to exist as a collegiate group. In 2015, the group sang 'Back Home Again in Indiana' for the 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The 2019 EP Open Bar saw the ensemble take on boozy classics like 'Closing Time' (Semisonic) and 'Tennessee Whiskey' (Chris Stapleton), and in 2020 they issued the holiday LP Social Christmasing.
