In other news...
We are sad to announce that the Capitol Steps are planning to shut down. Like many in the entertainment business, we simply weren't built to survive going a year or more without live performances.
On the bright side, when we first started as a Senate office Christmas party, we never imagined we would travel the country and
perform for 39 years!
It's been a fun ride!
For now, we will keep our office open and continue to sell our CDs here on our web site. We've got lots (although a few titles are selling out fast)! Grab them while you can!
So, thank you to all the NPR stations who have played our specials, and all the agents, venues and companies who have booked us over the years.
Thank you to all the awesome performers who learned songs on frighteningly short notice and brought their hilarious characters to the stage. Thanks to the road crew who made us sound good, and the pianists who changed keys and followed our performers without missing a beat.
And — most importantly — thank you to all our fans who have bought tickets to our show. You kept us going all these years! And who knows? Maybe someday we will gather for a reunion concert under the Chelsea Clinton administration!

The first time Donald Trump was impeached, he fought and won. Now that he's facing a second impeachment, it might be time to reconsider the earlier advice he got from one of his predecessors.
Week of January 4
Brexit is finally here, and Britain's close relationship with Europe is at an end. It's not going as smoothly as its proponents predicted, but everyone's trying to keep a stiff upper lip.
The Many Woes of Brexit
[ The Yellow Rose of Texas
]
From the album The Lyin' Kings (2019).
Week of December 28
Congress tucked plenty of extra spending, tax breaks, and other goodies for the lobbyists into the 5,593-page year-end spending bill that President Trump called "a disgrace." Then he signed it anyway "with a strong message...that wasteful items need to be removed." Good luck convincing Congress of that!
Oh, Spending Spree
[ Oh, Christmas Tree
]
From the album Danny's First Noel (1989)
