What happens inside a musician’s mind while they're on stage, in the studio, or sitting alone with their instrument? Sour Notes is a podcast about the inner monologue of performers - from stage fright to flow states, from self-doubt to creative rebirth. Through intimate conversations on the internal struggles often unspoken, it explores how artists create, cope and carry on.  Hosted by Roxanne Potvin, a JUNO-nominated singer-songwriter, podcast producer, and mental health speaker based in Nova Scotia, the show is a space for vulnerability in a perfectionist industry.

    Christine Bougie: Connecting the Parts

    Today I’m thrilled to share my conversation with a very dear musical friend and collaborator for many years, a painter of lap steel swells and soundscapes, a quiet force, and one of the most humble and wise people I know, Christine Bougie. In this episode, we talk about how to stay in constant dialogue with the many parts of ourselves at play in the creative process.

    Leanne Hoffman: Giving it Time

    Today’s guest is Leanne Hoffman, a Nova Scotia based multi-disciplinary artist, songwriter, and producer. In this episode, we talk about navigating intense bouts of performance anxiety and allowing time to let us grow and gain experience. A couple of notes on this episode: The "Erin" mentioned a few times in the episode is Erin Costelo, our previous guest and also the producer of Leanne's latest album The Text Collector. This interview was recorded in June 2025 so the reference to the St. Vincent show in July is now passed, but I felt the content was still relevant to the topics we covered, so I left it in.
