About Soul’s Road

Shot in Edmonton, Alberta and starring Canadian country star Dallas Smith, directed by Joel Stewart, SOUL’S ROAD is a riveting tale of self-discovery and redemption, promising audiences great music and heartwarming performances. After ruining his solo career and taking an extended break from music, the infamous Ronan Garrett returns to his hometown without much of a plan besides making amends with the people he abandoned almost a decade ago. Forgotten by some, but still regarded as a rockstar by others, Ronan takes a humble job from a friend at the local music shop and sets about fixing his past mistakes, determined to prove himself a changed man. As the healing process begins, Ronan feels the call to play again – with a new approach.
