Romancing the West at HorseFeather's Farm
Applegate Valley Historical Society presents Romancing the West at Horsefeathers Farms!
Date: Saturday August 24th, 7:00-9:30 Pm
The Applegate Valley Historical Society will be presenting Romancing the West at HorseFeathers Farms located in the forest along the Applegate River on August 24th at 7:00 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 over 250 years of the people of the American West through their trials, tribulations and triumphs and celebrating their diverse cultures, lives and legacys.
The story of Western Expansionism is told in historic photographs, rare film, video, live poetry and original music written by Christina, songs about the West including City of Roses (Portland), California Columbia (Columbia River) and Oh Oregon written for the 150th birthday of Oregon. Butch recites master poems of the old West like The Ballad of William Sycamore. 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 veterans, a majestic musical tribute to National Parks, and to hometown America with video and music featuring the Applegate Valley and Jacksonville.
This April marked the 11th consecutive year of touring with the show in National Trail Centers, concert series, and historic theaters having just returned from concerts in CA, Nevada and Butchs beloved Wyomings Wind River Valley, where he had a Morgan Ranch on the Wind River for many years in the 1970s-1990s, a treasured time in his life spent with closest friends like Darrell Winfield of Marlboro fame.
The Martins 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 Whittlers Corner and its history segment Time Travels through the American West.
