The Road to Ruane(2024)
The Road to Ruane Synopsis
Billy Ruane, storied impresario of the 90s Boston indie music scene. Billy promoted shows and inspired cult-like followings of bands by the likes of The Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr., Pixies, Superchunk, Buffalo Tom, Elliott Smith, Pavement, and Sonic Youth. His gracious treatment of artists set new standards in music. But underneath Billy’s exuberant cartoon-like demeanor and Harvard education, was the pain of a man with deep trauma, who struggled with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, and was confounded by the weight of an endless supply of money.
The Road to Ruane (2024) is a documentary film directed by Michael Gill, released on May 4, 2024. It stars Billy Ruane, Thurston Moore, J. Mascis and Elliott Smith.
