The Song of Rowland: American Culture at Full Volume

Episode Ten - Bruce Robinson

Russell Rowland Season 1 Episode 10

Bruce Robinson has led an extraordinary life. As the younger brother of the lead singer for one of the most successful bands in the history of Montana, the Mission Mountain Wood Band, Bruce stepped in to perform in his brother’s place when the band reunited several years after some of the band members, including Bruce’s brother Terry, died in a plane crash in 1987. Bruce also served as the coordinator for the extras on the film Heaven’s Gate, which was shot near Bruce’s home town of Kalispell, Montana. And he also owned several branches of Budget Tapes and Records, one of the largest record chains during that period.
