“What an honor it is that families return to see us year after year. We’ve watched children grow up and bring their children,” said Seggie Isho of Straight No Chaser. “To become part of their traditions each year – like making cookies, lighting candles, or opening presents – it’s something we never would have imagined when we were college students who wanted to sing at Indiana University all those years ago.”

 

This summer, the group will bring their “Beach Bash” tour to the Northeast, where they’ll perform songs of the summer from the Beach Boys to Bruno Mars. Tickets for the “Beach Bash” tour are on sale now.
