Razor Creek is a rock concert in coal-mining country, Kentucky. It is 1935, and residents get on best they can; fighting the devil, cracking jokes, staying alive, but when Razor Creek experiences an out-of-the-ordinary hardship, like the disappearance of a beloved invalid woman in town, residents look for something more tangible to blame—her own daughter. Was it murder? Was she possessed? Or something else altogether? Razor Creek is a folk-rock, sci-fi musical about overcoming generational trauma and finding something to sing about...in tight pants.
