Established in 1996, Another Round has entertained audiences in Bloomington and beyond for two decades. By pairing their rich harmonies with their signature sense of humor, Another Round puts their audiences in the middle of a truly unique entertainment experience. Their chemistry and showmanship leave you with a feeling of hometown charm unique to the group’s beloved Bloomington, Indiana. Originally named Straight No Chaser, the group was founded in 1996 by Dan Ponce and several friends from the world-renowned Singing Hoosiers. In 2008, a video of the group singing a unique rendition of “The 12 Days of Christmas” went viral, leading to a deal with Atlantic Records for the founding members. Although the school group is no longer known as Straight No Chaser, the music and traditions continue to be preserved under the new name: Another Round.
This group has a far-reaching following. If you are coming from out-of-town, The Hampton Inn in Bedford is offering a special discounted rate. Call (812) 902-2600 and ask for the Mitchell Opera House rate.
