The Road to Ruane
Synopsis
Billy Ruane, storied impresario of the 90s Boston indie music scene.

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.
