On April 20, 2022, filmmaker Dave Conlon posted Bob Lanois: Snake Road, an entertaining and insightful documentary about the late music legend Bob Lanois on YouTube.
It blossomed from what was meant to be an episode of Dave's YouTube series on abandoned properties. He had heard about a cabin in the woods near Burlington. It turns out to have belonged to Hamilton native Bob Lanois. Intrigued, Dave expanded it to be his first full-length documentary, this time focusing on Bob's life.
The in-depth look includes interviews with many luminaries of the music scene, including.
- His brother, Daniel Lanois
- Alan Cross
- Edgar Breau of Simply Saucer
- Bob Doidge of Grant Avenue Studio
- Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip
- Rachel Heart
- Tom Wilson
- John-Angus MacDonald & Jack Syperek of The Trews
- Glen Marshall
- Stephen Sahlin of Swedish band Big Is Less
