Capitol Steps October 4, 2012

Just in time for election season, America’s most hilarious political satirists inject a much-needed dose of humor and musical madness into the serious business of politics. The Capitol Steps, the group that puts the “mock” in democracy, began as a troupe of former Congressional Staffers (mostly) who travel the country satirizing the people and places that once employed them. The Capitol Steps have recorded 31 albums, including their latest “Desperate Housemembers” and “Barackin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” They have been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC and PBS, and can be heard four times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
