Smoke on the Mountain tells the story of a Saturday Night Gospel Sing at

a country church in North Carolina's Smoky Mountains in 1938. The show

features two dozen rousing bluegrass songs played and sung by the

Sanders Family, a traveling group making its return to performing after a

five-year hiatus.

Pastor Oglethorpe, the young and enthusiastic minister

of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, has enlisted the Sanders Family in his

efforts to bring his tiny congregation into "the modern world." Between

songs, each family member "witnesses" -- telling a story about an

important event in their life.

Though they try to appear perfect in the

eyes of a congregation who wants to be inspired by their songs, one

thing after another goes awry and they reveal their true -- and hilariously

imperfect - natures. By the evening's end, the Sanders Family have

endeared themselves to us by revealing their weaknesses and allowing us

to share in their triumphs.
