A cappella group coming to Morgantown 

The a cappella sensation Straight No Chaser will perform Sept. 19 at the Morgantown Metropolitan Theatre in downtown Morgantown.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are on sale at the Arts & Entertainment Box Office at the WVU Canady Creative Arts Center, online at Ticketmaster.com and by phone at 304-293-SHOW (7469) and 800-745-3000.

If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses … think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch.

These dapper vocalists are the real deal, captivating audiences with the sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense … and with a sense of humor.

Straight No Chaser has a long list of accomplishments, including two Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) gold certified albums. SNC has sold more than 1.5 million concert tickets and more than 2 million albums worldwide. They have also amassed more than 1 billion streams on Pandora.

SNC ushered a cappella into the mainstream before pop culture phenoms like “The Sing-Off” and “Pitch Perfect” and they continue to sellout crowds nationwide. Their uncanny ability to belt out R&B smooth jams, stadium anthems and holiday staples, carried by style, swagger and spirit, creates a concert experience like no other.

General Public tickets for An Evening with Straight No Chaser start at $48. WVU Students may purchase tickets for $28 at the campus box offices.  WVU Student discounted tickets are limited to one per valid WVU Student ID.
