Straight No Chaserโs virtual concerts keep a holiday tradition alive
Concerts may look a little bit different in 2020, but a cappella group Straight No Chaser is keeping the holiday spirit alive with their annual Christmas concert. The virtual concert celebrates the holiday, along with the bandโs new album โSocial Christmasing.โKim was able to talk with Seggie Isho, a baritone in the group and a Detroit local. He said they wanted to be sure to put out a holiday album, because this year, more than ever, people could use the cheer. The group has been living in a bubble together in Washington, D.C. so they can put on a virtual concert and perform together in person. He said he gets letters from families saying the holiday concert is their family tradition, and heโs glad not to have to let them down.
Escape with music from Straight No Chaser
People may still be abiding by the quarantine rules, but thatโs not stopping beautiful music from being made. World-renowned a cappella group, Straight No Chaser, is performing on a new stage, the internet. Member and Detroit native Seggie Isho spoke to Jason Carr and Tati Amare about how the group is singing, together, during their time at home. Isho said the group decided to perform this way so they could not just stay in contact with each other, but also create music for others that are in quarantine. The group is performing from their homes all over the country via Zoom, but the harmonies are still very much on point.
