Straight No Chaser Announces Fall 2012 Tour

Hashtags aren’t just for Twitter. Straight No Chaser is proud to announce that the little number sign symbol is being used as part of the a cappella men’s group’s fall tour name – #SNClive Tour.

Well, then again, the hashtag in the tour name will be useful on Twitter and other social media platforms when fans want to interact with each other and search for info about the fall excursion.

“This group started because of a viral video on YouTube,” Randy Stine said. “From day one we have encouraged fans to upload photos and videos from our shows, even expanding venue photo policies to ensure that this was possible. We are excited to really drive home the idea of building a fan community around content by naming our tour #SNClive.”
