Local Singer Appears On NBC’s ‘The Sing-Off’
December 6, 2010
A local singer is appearing on NBC’s a cappella singing competition series, “The Sing-Off”, which premiered Monday night.
Adam Chance Ray, who performs as Adam Chance, sings bass for the six-member Street Corner Symphony. Ten a cappella groups will compete on the nationally televised show 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.
“The Sing-Off” will feature a cappella groups performing popular songs from various genres, with America ultimately deciding the winning group.
Returning celebrity judges Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman and Nicole Scherzinger will critique each performance, narrowing down the finalists to the top three groups competing for America’s vote.
“The Sing-Off” is a five-night holiday event premiering Monday, December 6 (7-9 p.m.) on NBC, locally on WPMI TV 15. The one-of-a-kind battle of voices will continue on December 8, 13 and 15, culminating in a live finale on December 20 (7-9 p.m. each night).

Saw this show last night for the first time and thought it was awesome. I would not want to be a judge because they all are remarkable talented singers.
Best of luck to our local boy Adam Chance.
I just caught the premier of the sing-off on NBC. Being a singer in nashville every weekend for 8 years myself, I can relate to the idea of living out a dream. Adam Chance Ray and the Streetcorner Symphony have a “magic” about them that can be found here (in Nashville) on almost every street corner. I wish them the best of luck and hope they go all the way and win it all!!!!!!!!
P.s. would really love to jam with them, too…they know what I mean.
