To Drink or To Play with Petri Lindroos of Ensiferum

Petri Lindroos of Ensiferum & I have a conversation about how he coped with 2020, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, playing Montreal, having to quit drinking in order to keep playing guitar, crafting a new identity, his 1st sober gig, some positive changes, if it affected his relationship with his bandmates, what was his plan B, rediscovering his love for guitar, writing a new album as well as potential Solo record & what was his hangover cure. Throughout this interview Petri was was drinking a Hot Chocolate & I was drinking Bière Sans Alcool - BSA's "Sour Framboise"!!! This Non-Alcoholic brew poured out with a gorgeous red veil, slammed fruity vibes on the nose, smashed a tart yet sweet raspberry finish & was quite refreshing. It clocked in with a 0.5% ABV. Get ready for this Friday because Jerome & Yann of BSA will be my guests on Vox&Hops Episode 233. This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year.
