Obama Mia! Presented By The Capitol Steps with Special Guest Jason Wilber

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.
In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.
Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded 29 albums, including their latest, Obama Mia! featuring our new president, his former rivals, and all those who have helped put the country in the great shape it's in.
Favorite moments are collected from the last year, including songs featuring Hank Paulson, Nancy Pelosi, Vladimir Putin, and Rod Blagojevich, with special reminiscences from George W. Bush.
They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard 4 times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
We're proud to have The Capitol Steps back to Happy Valley for what is sure to be another great show!
Jason Wilber
In addition to releasing several CDs of his own, Jason Wilber has played lead guitar for John Prine, Hal Ketchum, Iris DeMent, Greg Brown, Todd Snider, Greg Trooper, Carrie Newcomer, and Tim Grimm. His work with John Prine includes the 2006 Grammy Award winning album Fair & Square.
Jason also hosts a weekly radio program called In Search of a Song which features informal discussions and musical collaborations between Jason and guest singer-songwriters. Discussions focus on music, songwriting, and the creative process. It's sort of like Piano Jazz meets Austin City Limits.
