Saddle Tramp, the newest dance work by choreographer Neile Martin, is inspired by the music of country singer Marty Robbins. Her driving movement style combined with the narrative styles of country music reveal a story of love, jealousy, murder, and redemption. Each performance will open with a unique performance by a Memphis musician. Come witness the wild west that is still deep in our bones.
