Event Details
Tucked away off one of Oro Valley’s busiest roads, Steam Pump Ranch tells a story of the history behind the town. The historical site was once a way-station for cattle and destination along a major corridor for westward travel.
Today, the ranch links past and present culture, providing a pleasant outdoor venue for the Second Saturdays at the Oro Valley Farmers Market. The monthly event features live music, an open air market and kids’ activities, presented by the Town of Oro Valley and Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance.
The free event will bring local performers in country and Latin music to the ranch.
Greg Morton began to play the guitar when he was around 12 years of age. Greg’s natural musical ability allowed him to quickly develop a mastery of the guitar. While living in Memphis, Greg won the Midsouth Championship in guitar and mandolin. Greg traveled around the world as a member of the USO. At one point, he was a member of Don Ho’s band in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 1995, Greg Morton won the Arizona State Guitar Championship. In 2001, 2002, and 2004, Greg won the extremely prestigious TAMMIES Award (Tucson Area Music Awards) for Best Acoustic Guitarist.
