Romancing the West comes to Hayden Cabin at Mammoth Lakes Museum. 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 American West, taking the
audience on a journey through the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the people of the West and
celebrating their diverse cultures, lives and legacy’s.
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 150 th birthday of Oregon,
Wyoming and Montana ranching history and the beautiful Eastern Sierra Nevada. Butch recites
masterful poems of the old West including “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.
This April marks the 11 th consecutive year of touring with the show in National Trail Centers, concert
series, and theaters.
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”. Tickets are 15.00 per person.
