“With good guys to root for, bad guys to boo and plenty of stiff drinks, Café Nordo delivers an evening of fun.”
THE STORY
.
Nordo’s spin on the Spaghetti Western returns with Ray Tagavilla channeling Clint Eastwood as an enigmatic stranger who comes to the town of Sauget.
.
One farmer has had enough of the powerful forces dictating who owns the land and the crops in this small town, and Sauget is preparing for his hanging. Smoked unfurls with the slow burn of a Leone film coupled with live western tunes by the band Two Horses Too Many.
