Good Things Festival. For many Australian alternative music fans it’s a yearly tradition that rounds out the year in early December and I dear reader, am no exception. This year’s Good Things was ultimately a success I’d say, even if it might not have reached the same heights of previous years (in my humble opinion).

The mark of a good artist is one who can connect with their audience, try new things/genres, all while remaining true to themselves. While his solo career may show him in a new light, it’s clear he’s a star no matter what.
