Saddletramp was an Adelaide based band formed in 1997 around singer/songwriter John Turner. As well as original songs the band plays a wide range of material from gentle ballads to hard-driving country rock, with numbers from the early days of country music to the latest foot-stomping songs from Nashville.

John was President of the Adelaide Country Music Club from 2003 to August 2006 when he moved back to Queensland.
