1969: The Second Man is a hybridized concert and history lecture that tells the story of the Apollo 11 moon landing from the perspective of Buzz Aldrin, the second astronaut to set foot on the moon. Led by songwriter/performer Jacob Brandt, the show features an indie-folk score and explores rugged individualism, collective sacrifice, and the (un)healthy competitive spirit engrained in the American dream. 1969: The Second Man is a space age folk rock fable for the runner-up in all of us.
