A cappella group Straight No Chaser plays its holiday show 'Making Spirits Bright' at The Fabulous Fox Theatre.
Straight No Chaser bring their holiday tour to The Fabulous Fox Theatre on Wednesday, December 16, 2026, at 7:30 PM. The show is Making Spirits Bright, the holiday program they've been touring for nearly two decades. It's a vocal-only set—no instruments, just voices—and it's the one they bring out every winter.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, here's the background: Straight No Chaser is a nine-member a cappella group that started at Indiana University and grew into a front act of the modern a cappella movement. They're RIAA Gold certified, with more than 3 million albums sold worldwide, over a billion streams, and 100 million YouTube views. Their live concerts have sold more than 2 million tickets across the years. The St. Louis date is part of a nationwide fall tour that kicked off October 29 in Findlay, Ohio, and runs through December 30 in Jacksonville, Florida.
Making Spirits Bright has become a family tradition for them. Member Seggie Isho has talked about watching children grow up and eventually bring their own kids back to the shows, with the group's music woven into holiday routines like baking cookies, lighting candles, or opening presents—the kind of thing they never imagined when they were just college students who wanted to sing together at Indiana University. That's the core of the show: a cappella holiday music that's been a fixture of their winter season for almost twenty years.
