    "Six Pack: Volume 2", PBS' “Songs of the Decades: Holiday Edition” and Fall Tour 2011
    Posted by      
    October 20, 2011

    Hi everyone,

    We have just announced the release of an exciting new EP, entitled “Six Pack: Volume 2.” The collection arrives in stores and all digital retailers on November 29th. More importantly, the music will be available for pre-orders via store.sncmusic.com beginning on November 1st. A variety of packages will be on offer, including digital and CD editions of the EP as well as a “Deluxe Bundle” that comprises a CD, a poster/calendar, and a limited edition SNC stuffed bear.

    What songs will be featured on “Six Pack: Volume 2”, you ask? Weezer’s “Buddy Holly,” Madonna’s “Like A Prayer,” and “Get Ready,” written by Smokey Robinson and made famous by The Temptations. In addition, the new EP features two of our signature medleys, the first pairing Plain White T’s’ “Rhythm Of Love” with the Elvis Presley standard, “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” the second blending Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” with Bell Biv Devoe’s “Poison.”

    Be on the lookout for our new PBS special, "Songs Of The Decades: Holiday Edition," which begins airing nationwide on December 3rd. Filmed this summer during our exclusive summer concert engagement at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, the special documents our musical journey through the pop songbook, from doo-wop to contemporary pop.

    A sneak preview of “Like A Prayer” can currently be viewed here. Complete airdates will be announced shortly at http://sncmusic.com/pbsspecial.

    Our fall 2011 tour kicked off on October 14th at Dallas’ McFarlin Auditorium and will continue to travel across North America through late December. In February 2012, we will cross the Atlantic for a much-anticipated tour of the United Kingdom. For complete details and additional 2012 tour dates, please see sncmusic.com/shows.

PBS special- 2 weeks from tonight!
EileenR's picture

There's a note on the blog entry about the presale that says, "The original song initially meant for this EP just needed a little more time to make perfect, so stay tuned for that one in the future." In other news, the new PBS special starts airing ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! WOO HOO!

Hmmm I thought it said there would be an original song featured in the Six Pack: Vol 2..............

November 1st can't get here soon enough! :)
Shaina's picture

Wait a sec. I could've sworn that it'd said there would be an original song featured in Six Pack: Vol. 2. Did I miss something or read it from somewhere else?
EileenR's picture

Just rewatched for about the millionth time, and this is the 1st time I've noticed the empty 2nd row seat kayzie mentioned! It's not the one that was in front of me, though. :)
EileenR's picture

kayzie- there was an empty 2nd row seat in front of me b/c the lady sitting next to it wouldn't let the ushers fill it- she insisted her husband was coming to sit there. He never did show up! Gave e a nice view of the show, though!

I attended the Denver concert and enjoyed the choreography with the SNC's singing. It was great! I flew to Denver from Santa Fe just to see SNC, and was glad I did. Anxious for the new CD. Impressed with the new performances, could hardly sit in my seat. Wanted to dance....thanks guys, for bringing enjoyment into my life! Waited for you in the lobby, but must have missed you. You probably came out when I left! Oh well, maybe I'll meet you at the next concert.

Just watched "Like A Prayer" again and again. Was that empty seat in the 2nd row saved for me?? *sniff* *sniff*..

HAPPY DAY! Can't wait to get it!

Yay! They totally read my mind :) When I was at the concert in Houston (which was awesome) I was thinking "oooh, I hope they put out a new album soon." I guess an EP isn't QUITE an album, but it's close enough ;) :D :D :D

I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (to quote TK).

ALRIGHTEEEEEE THEN!!! Thank you, Thank you Thank you. Looking soo forward...

Eileen, if you need some place to send an extra Christmas gift.... You know, this may be the perfect time to use that Amazon gift list thing that lets you list items from sites other than theirs. I had to bug my family to update their gift lists on Amazon last year; guess it's time to do it again. Think that will be enough to get them to look for mine?
bkjk111 Aunt KLS's picture

Wonderful news!! Just in time to order Christmas presents and treat myself!! Thank you for all the hard work you've done to get this out so quickly--SNC=Sincerely Nice to Chasers!
EileenR's picture

So much fantastic news- my Chaser brain is just spinning! So cool that you told us the songs- excited for a studio version of "Billie Jean/Poison". Limited edition stuffed bear... hmmm... wonder what else will be in that package deal. I'll have to get 4 of the bears for my kids, but I can always give the CDs to other lucky people on my Christmas list... If our local PBS station airs the special 12/3, I may have to tape it- I'll be at a Girl Scout pool party with my daughters that night.

Woot! I am all over this!

@cruiserkelli... you can take your laptop on the cruise and maybe you can patch into either your cable company or your local pbs station and they might show it online too! Heck, it is worth a shot! Ok... so as far as my excitement level... I am stoked! I must admit that the songs I am looking forward to most are the Original and the "“Rhythm Of Love/Can’t Help Falling In Love” mix. I love both of those songs! Although, apparently Josh (aka The Can-Can Kid) is belief that "Fix You" is a original SNC song.... LOL. When they started singing it on Glee he got all excited and was like... "Mom, it is a Straight No Chaser song!" LOL. Also, I can't wait to see the guys on the 19th in Baltimore!!! Super excited about that!

Thanks guys.....I was crossing my fingers for a pre-Christmas delivery. Now I have some great Stocking Stuffers for this year

I wish I could put into words how this announcement made my day today!! And to make it even better, I'm off work on November 1st, so you can bet I'll be ordering my deluxe bundle ASAP!! Hoping it arrives before I leave Nov 30th for a Disney Cruise with my sons! And a calendar????? 2012 just got a little better looking x 10!!!!! THANK YOU SNC!!!
