Straight No Chaser will celebrate the album’s release with what will be their biggest headline tour to date. “The
New Old Fashioned Tour” sets off on October 16th in Las Vegas at the MGM Casino’s David Copperfield Theatre and

Additionally, Straight No Chaser is set to take part in one of their home state of Indiana’s greatest traditions, the
singing of “(Back Home Again In) Indiana” prior to the start of the annual Indianapolis 500. The group – which was
founded in 1996 at Indiana University Bloomington – will perform “(Back Home Again In) Indiana” during the prerace festivities, taking on the honor following legendary entertainer Jim Nabors’s 2014 retirement after having
performed the song live 35 times since 1972. The Indianapolis 500 Pre-Race Show airs live on ABC on May 24th at
12 Noon ET (check local listings).
Straight No Chaser’s fourth full-length release, 2013’s “UNDER THE INFLUENCE” saw the renowned vocal group
reimagining a selection of their all time favorite songs alongside many of the superstar artists and undisputed music
icons that made them famous. Produced by Mark Kibble (a founding member of the legendary a cappella group
Take 6 and one of Straight No Chaser’s primary influences), the album included unprecedented collaborations with
some of popular music’s best and brightest – including Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Dolly Parton, Rob
Thomas, Seal, Sara Bareilles, and Jason Mraz – as Straight No Chaser put their distinctive and inimitable spin on
songs known and loved the world over.
Long beloved for their trademark takes on Yuletide favorites, Straight No Chaser celebrated this past Christmas with
a newly released version of their hit EP, “UNDER THE INFLUENCE: HOLIDAY EDITION” featuring “Text Me Merry
Christmas (Feat. Kristen Bell).” Written by Emmy and GRAMMY® Award-winning writers David Javerbaum (The Daily
Show) and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), the track proved an immediate holiday hit, garnering more than
1
million
individual
views
in
the
24
hours
following
its
YouTube
premiere
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmhfdQlOiy0). Other highlights on “UNDER THE INFLUENCE: HOLIDAY EDITION”
include renditions of “White Christmas (Feat. Cee Lo Green),” “Merry Christmas Baby (Feat. Otis Redding),” and a
timeless rendition of Paul McCartney’s classic “Wonderful Christmastime” that featured vocals by McCartney
himself.
