Straight No Chaser was born at Indiana University a dozen years ago, while I was a kid growing up in Bloomington, Indiana. (In fact, one of the members is the older brother of a kid a year ahead of me in school.) I remember hearing about them singing at local bars in the beginning. They started graduating when I began high school, but the group continued as a student group.
That is, until some of the original members re-formed to become Straight No Chaser once more!
After work, I met up with VB for a delicious dinner at Wild Iris in Brentwood, then headed to the Ryman to see the show. It was my first time at the famous venue.
The show was AWESOME. The people behind us gave us free wine, and VB and I danced and sang the night away. We seriously rocked out the entire time. We laughed a ton (these guys are hilarious) and it was just the perfect girls' night out. We even stuck around to get autographs and meet the guys afterwards.
Seriously though, you don't understand how awesome these guys are until you HEAR them. So go on YouTube and prepare to be amazed. Really. Because they're that good.
