During the early 1900’s, the struggle affected every family in the region known as the Black Patch. The conflict gave birth to the infamous "Night Riders", masked vigilantes who terrorized farmers that refused to join the movement through intimidation, vandalism, destruction of property, and eventually, violence. Long suppressed, the story now unfolds through the words and music of SMOKE. The musical score consists of original compositions and new arrangements of traditional folk music and will be performed with live period instruments in acoustic bluegrass-style, further enhancing historical accuracy.<br /><br />Both productions are written by David Alford and music composition for SMOKE is put together by Paul Carroll Binkley and PCB Music.<br />David Alford<br /><br />David graduated from Jo Byrns High School in Cedar Hill Tennessee.  He received an associate degree from Martin Methodist College as well as bachelor’s degrees from Austin Peay State University and the Juilliard School for Drama in New York.
