Straight No Chaser at MTelus – May 7, 2024 LiveEvents April 30, 2024 672 Straight No Chaser – The Yacht Rock Tour Dig out your deck shoes: RIAA-certified Gold a cappella group Straight No Chaser is setting sail on “The Yacht Rock Tour,” sparking sing-alongs to classic 80s songs of summer. Touring in support of their 2023 full-length album release, Yacht On The Rocks is a trove of yacht rock classics. Produced by Nicholas Niespodziani, singer, guitarist, and spiritual leader of Yacht Rock Revue, the album will includes classics like “Escape (The Piña Colada Song),” “Sailing,” and “After The Love Has Gone.” The album’s first single was a reworking of Kenny Loggins’ “Heart to Heart.” “What could possibly sound more like summer than yacht rock?” said group member Steve Morgan. “We can’t wait to hit the road and celebrate the season of leisure with our fans. Grab a frozen beverage and beat the heat with us, reliving the decade of cool tunes and smooth sailing.” Straight No Chaser was originally formed at Indiana University in the mid-’90s. The group reunited and gained new momentum in 2006 when Randy Stine uploaded their 1998 performance of “The 12 Days of Christmas” to YouTube to share some college nostalgia with friends. What happened next was a level of success that few people could have predicted, least of all, the nine members of Straight No Chaser. The group has remained at the forefront of the modern day a cappella movement, and has since sold more than three million albums worldwide, garnered more than a billion streams on Pandora alone, and sold more than 1.5 million concert tickets worldwide.
