Event Details

Join us for an engaging and enlightening presentation by Robert Cohen as we explore the fascinating history of Presidential campaign songs. This event will delve into how these songs reflect our political history and musical evolution. Discover the jubilation supporters felt for their candidates and the nastiness opponents often directed at them.

We'll listen to the tunes that resonated with Americans during Presidential campaigns from the turn of the 19th century to well into the 20th. Plus, we'll ponder the question: why don't we have campaign songs anymore?

Don't miss this unique opportunity to journey through two centuries of political and musical history!
