Straight No Chaser Blog

Ryan, I too look forward to your posts. You are an amazing singer, entertainer, composer and writer. The Isho Family thanks you for your kind words and as you mentioned your pint sized fans were anxiously awaiting for the end of the show so that they could give you one of their silly bands. We truly enjoyed the new show and can’t wait to see you guys in Windsor.

Ryan, My family and I are going to the show Saturday night and I was wondering if any the shows are being recorded on video? I would love to see you guys put out a DVD of the best of Harrah's. I'm sure you'd sell a lot of copies. If this has been discussed before i apologise but I just don't have the time to follow all the blogs.

Looking forward to a great show tomorrow night it will be my third time seeing you guys and I also have tickets for Boston in the fall.

Ryan, Thanks for all your sharing! Its a part of what makes you guys so personal to us fans...you share some of your time OFF the stage with us too!! The inside, show biz info is quite interesting! And your witty, humorous, honest, humbling perspective is a fun gift I appreciate and enjoy very much! You're a unique gem! Thanks Lauren, you must be very special! And thanks to the other family members of SNC!
Haven't seen the CBS performance, sorry I missed it, was asleep. I guess the old saying is true, you snooze you lose.
Hope you continue to have success in AC!! I'm sure you're making more fans!! Of course....you're the most talented, classiest act in the USA! Duh!!
I come here fairly often and see what you guys have been up to and will see you again in the fall! Thank YOU Ryan!

Didn't notice that you were having a "mini-freak-out moment" on the Early Show; I was just excited to be watching it. ^__^

Thanks so much for all these blog posts, Ryan. I really enjoy reading them! If this foggy feeling in my brain would just go away, I could probably write something more interesting or deep, but it's a hopeless case. I hope you're enjoying "your weekend"! =D

That would be cool to throw in a shout-out to our service men and women, or even a song dedication.

Ryan, your blogs are so much fun -- you have such a joyful spirit! I still haven't seen any of the singing from CBS because it wasn't shown here. Sure hope someone can post it or a link to it.

I echo all of the thanks to the wives, families and significant others. I'm sure none of you had any idea what this was leading to when the guys all came home the first time and said, "hey, Atlantic wants us to sing for real!" You must feel immense pride when you see how they perform (and perform and perform) and how they conduct themselves with fans. Thank you for enduring the frustrations that come with having them away from home for so many days.

Is there anything we fans can do to help support SNC's families, Ryan, when you all are on the road?

I really wish I could 'like' people's comments :) I'd probably click 'like' on all of them, but two stand out.

SNC Fan- From this fan: if it weren't for the amazing men and women serving in the military like you're boyfriend, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the freedoms we have today. Please thank him for his service, and thank you for supporting him!

Also, Christine is absolutely right. SNC has brought together some wonderful fans! I'm proud to call more than wunnadem good people a FRIEND!! :) (#newwordsl)

Ryan, thanks for taking time from your weekend to share with us! "Grapevine" = very smooth stretch. Nice interview and Beyonce tune, earlier on the show. I thought it was great how the lady interviewing SNC, geniunely seemed to enjoy it. Ya'll are a class act.

Hope your families (wives, esp.) can get to AC for some visits.

Wow you guys are truely amazing!! I was at your show Sunday night (7/18) first row on the right hand side and was in awe of your outstanding performance. My boyfriend is coming home from Afghanistan in a few days and I want to bring him to a show, Do you guys do anything to recognize the men and women who serve our country?

Thanks for the new post, Ryan! I, as always, enjoyed it very much. Also, after reading all the comments before me, I’m humbled to be a part of such an appreciative group of fans – I couldn’t have said what they’ve said, much better. Your fans thank your families dearly for, yes, “loaning” you to us and for so long.

Also, we thank you for spending time with us after each show (even when it might be the last show before your “weekend” begins!) – it really is a rare opportunity for fans to get to talk with such talented performers – and yes, you guys are just as genuine as your voices! What a treat for us to get to be enchanted by the fun and fabulous performances, and then to meet you afterwards – we’re so fortunate that you guys enjoy what you do as much as you do.

I also agree that I’d love to see not only an (yes, just one more) encore song at the end of the Harrah’s show (I know, 53 songs SHOULD be enough, right?!), but I’ve also heard wants for you guys to release a CD of Songs Through the Decades: With a Twist…your fans can’t get enough of you!

Keep the writings coming along when you can, you do brighten many days (especially when I’m logging on midday…oops) – we love reading them (all the personal touches are very endearing!)! I’ve written it before, but thanks again for bringing us on the ride along with you!

p.s. I’m sure Seggie’s nieces were superfun superfans – how special for them to have such an awesome uncle!

Awesome show in AC on Friday night! My husband and I were about 4 rows back, center stage and loved every second of the performance! Loved the way all of you took turns singing. Especially loved the Jersey Girl version - - fist pumps to ya on that!

Great nice out and can’t wait to see you again. Superfan here too!

ps - Ryan - you write real good!!!! start a book!

Yay! Another blog from Ryan! Was so happy to hear all of Grapevine, the sstreeeetttttttcch version! I thought for sure they were going to finish rolling the credits and cut to commercial! And, it really WAS a pro-move -- you all carried it off well! Great "backstage" interview, tool! That Tyler just talks too much!

I must add my thanks to the SNC families as well. Their willingness to share you with us is not forgotten. The Mrs. SNC ladies are made of awesome to send their men off on the road for months at a time and hold down their respective 'forts'. Thanks, gals!

Only 34 days till MY adventure to Atlanic City.

Straight No Chaser. Winning new fans - one performance at a time. =)

This kind of connection with your fans is brilliant, kind, and is the best way to gain even more fans. I've never seen performers communicate with fans like this, and it's appreciated that you let us get to know you as People - who happen to be extremely talented. It makes me want to reach for my dreams and not accept a boring life. Corney mabye, but it's true. And the "meet & greet" line is another fantastic operation -- hope it helps you feel the thrill from your fans to keep fueling all of you. Cheers!

Ryan, you have this way of making my day... Thanks for making my first experience as a SuperFan of anything oh-so-much fun. I sure have made some good friends in the SNC Fanbase (hi Twitterbugs!). Good people.

As my 96-year old grandma is fond of saying, "Keep on keeping on!" She also says my husband is the god Apollo, but that's another story all together...

Ryan, thanks for writing another blog. You know all of us love it.

I was wondering why Grapevine was longer, just figured Jerome was being artistic. Had no idea of any need of stretching.

Thank you so much to the SNC families for all your support. We Chasers truly appreciate it!
