Raise your voice and cast your vote and rally to the party. Republican? Democrat? Whig? Mugwump? Bull Moose?! Whatever the affiliation campaign songs were sung to win popular support for history's presidential hopefuls.

Long before television and radio featured "attack advertisements", "media blitzes" and "spin doctoring" during political campaigns, many of the same effects were achieved through campaign songs.

Suzanne and Jim present an entertaining and enlightening program of presidential campaign songs from the days of Andrew Jackson into the 20^th century. These songs are not simply historical curiosities. They document some of the enduring themes of the American political process and the social movements that underlay them. These catchy melodies captivate even modern audiences with the spirit of an old time election rally.

The Ballad Box Ballads program is entertainment that is suitable for election conventions and rallies, historic societies and museums, or for any audience that has an appreciation of the American political experience!
