Welcome to the Songs with Substance Podcast where I speak to introspective indie artists about their experience staying mentally healthy as they navigate the music industry. In today’s episode I spoke to Josh from Booster Fawn, an alt-rock band based in Montreal. We spoke about Josh’s positive journey to sobriety, as depicted in his latest album ‘Dreams made of Snowflakes’.
TW: Please be advised that this episode touches on subjects like addiction and suicide. Perhaps this is one to skip over if these are sensitive subjects for you.
