The a cappella group is known for close harmonies, contemporary arrangements, and a touring schedule that brings them to venues across the United States. Their repertoire includes original material and reimagined versions of pop and classic hits.

“We’ve hoped to bring Straight No Chaser to Bay View for years, and we’re thrilled that the moment has finally arrived. They routinely sell out venues three times the size of Hall Auditorium, so we encourage guests to secure tickets early. Their high-energy, feel-good performance is the perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend,” said Chris Ludwa, Artistic
Director of Bay View Association.

Tickets for the July 2 performance are available online at www.bayviewassociation.org and by phone at 231-347-6225.
