Throughout the weekend we had the privilege to catch acts such as Tyler Shaw, Scott Helman, Texas King, The Elwins, Royal North, Kongos, See Spot Run, The Pursuit of Happiness and non other than Matthew Good who closed out the festival on Sunday afternoon.

All talented just the same. This years festival showcased much of that talent through nights of music at local venues, as well as showcasing within the awards show itself. The intimate feel of the event meant that artists were seen wandering other shows and spaces making them accessible to talk to, get to know, and hear about what’s coming up.
