The Capitol Steps began performing in 1981 when a group of Senate staffers were planning entertainment for a Christmas party. The group digs into the headlines of the day and creates song parodies and skits for a special brand of satirical humor.
The Capitol Steps have recorded 26 albums, including their latest, "I'm So Indicted." They've 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.
Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill -- some for Democrats, some for Republicans and some for other politicians who firmly straddle the fence. No matter who holds office, there鈥檚 never a shortage of material.
