Straight No Chaser: The Speakeasy Tour – December 28
If the phrase, “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties and khakis singing

they’re not vaudeville-style kitschy. They have a massive fan base, numerous national TV appearances to their
credit, and proven success with CD releases. SNC is the real deal--the captivating sound of nine unadulterated
voices coming together to make extraordinary music. SNC performs at Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox on
