It's said that a little sip of whiskey helps a singer prepare for a show (perhaps not so much for the throat but rather the nerves), and there's no more wonderful embodiment of that wives' tale than Straight No Chaser, the wildly successful a cappella group (yes, that would be 16 million views on their “12 Days of Christmas” YouTube video). Currently on tour in support of their aptly titled new album Under the Influence: Holiday Edition, the 10-man group sings a whole new lot of Christmas classics with some help from music icons including “Merry Christmas Baby (with vocals from Otis Redding)” and “Wonderful Christmastime (featuring Paul McCartney).” This special stop in Anaheim opens with a performance from The Voice's Caroline Glaser.
