Combining elements of Lindsay’s hit podcasts American History Tellers, American Scandal, and History Daily, this live theatrical event tells the story of six critical moments in American history that made our country what it is today — for better or worse. With a full band, this is an evening of thrilling history, storytelling, and music that will make audiences appreciate how remarkable, infuriating, and inspiring being an American can be.
Not a podcast taping. A theatrical event.
Six days, one evening.
Lindsay walks the audience through six turning points, drawn from the same primary sources that power his podcasts. Each is told as a story, not a lecture.
Live music throughout.
A three-piece band — Jeff Ryan on drums, Tony Hormillosa on bass, James Henderson on guitar — scores each chapter with original compositions. Lindsay joins on second guitar.
Built for theaters.
Projected archival imagery, standard stage lighting, no fourth wall. Designed for proscenium houses and concert halls alike.
All ages welcome.
Many of Lindsay’s listeners tune in alongside their kids — the show is appropriate for the whole household, not just adults.

“The music made it powerful. He’s a master storyteller.”
