Local Singer Appears Tonight On Finals Of NBC’s ‘The Sing-Off’

December 20, 2010

A local singer’s group is one of four finalists on NBC’s a cappella singing competition series “The Sing-Off” tonight.

Adam Chance Ray, who performs as Adam Chance, sings bass for the six-member Street Corner Symphony. The group is one of four to make it through the preliminary rounds for the chance to appear live for tonight’s show; the show started with 10 a cappella groups competing for a $100,000 prize and a Sony Music recording contract

Chance (pictured), who was born in the Florida Panhandle, currently resides in Tuscaloosa, but still has numerous relatives in the Atmore and Jay areas.

The members of Street Corner Symphony are from all over the Southeast United States and call Nashville their home base. The group was formed in May of 2010 for the sole purpose of competing in The Sing-Off.

“We met right before we had to get things together for the show,” Chance said.

Street Corner Symphony’s music is described as “laid back southern soul” with a rich heritage in gospel music. Chance is the only one of the six members that is not the child of a preacher.

Returning celebrity judges Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman and Nicole Scherzinger will critique each performance, narrowed down the finalists to the top four groups competing for America’s vote.
