In honor of our Country’s 250th birthday, Romancing the West comes to Moulton Museum Friday June 26 th at 6:30 pm. Singer/songwriter Christina Lynn Martin and Cowboy Poet and Balladeer Butch Martin co-produce and perform in the time traveling documentary concert telling the human story of the people of the American West through their trials, tribulations and triumphs and celebrating their diverse cultures, lives and legacy’s.
The story of Western Expansionism ranch is told in historic photographs, rare film, video, live poetry and original music written by Christina, including songs about the West including “City of Roses” (Portland), “California” “Columbia” (Columbia River) and “Oh Oregon” written for the 150th birthday of Oregon. The telling of the history of the Mission and Ranchero period is centered around the Jewel of the Missions. Butch recites master poems of the old West like “The Ballad of William Sycamore”. The Mission era and the Ranchero period include the rich history of South Orange County in and around Mission San Juan Capistrano. As the show moves from the old West into the modern West the music ranges from traditional Western, folk/Celtic to jazz, big band and pop/rock. Within the show is a moving tribute to our veterans, a majestic musical tribute to National Parks, and to hometown America.
This April marked the 14th consecutive year of touring with the show in National Trail Centers, concert series, and theaters and is both deeply moving, and educational, entertaining and inspiring!
The Martin’s Mission continues to be “to foster love and respect for our fellow man and the love of this land by telling the sometimes painful story of Western Expansionism and celebrating the diverse cultures whose stories continue to inform and inspire our Nation and our world.” The couple make their home in a log cabin in Applegate Valley at Cougar Mountain Ranch surrounded by kids and grandkids, where they also record their weekly radio show Whittler’s Corner and it’s history segment “Time Travels through the American West”.
