Band Members: Music and Lyrics by Michael Friedman * Written and Directed by Alex Timbers
Influences: “Who am I? I'm Andrew F***ing Jackson!”
Shootouts, smallpox and scalpings—growing up on the 19th Century American Frontier was killer! Hoping to kick some British butt and bitch-slap the Spaniards, thirteen-year old Andrew Jackson joins the Army and grows up to become America's first populist president and greatest rock star since George Washington.
A fast-paced irreverent rock musical about the country we live in and the leaders we choose. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson redefines America's seventh president, a pioneer of humble stock who invented the Democratic Party, moved Indians west, and played a kick-ass guitar. From the director and co-creator of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant and OBIE Award winning composer Michael Friedman.
