Craig Lucas and GoodLuck promote healing through music
IN A WORLD filled with turmoil and uncertainty, the prevalence of anxiety has become a shared experience for many.
Recognising the need for healing and connection during these challenging times, singer Craig Lucas and musical band GoodLuck joined forces to create a collaborative single, Better.
Released in 2022, this emotive track aims to serve as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
The song resonates with listeners on a profound level, offering solace and encouragement in a chaotic world.
The heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies speak to the universal struggle of overcoming obstacles and finding strength in vulnerability.
Through their music, the singer and the band aim to provide a sense of solidarity to those grappling with anxiety and hardships.
These musical powerhouses will be performing together at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens this weekend.
The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens serves as the perfect backdrop for this special event as it offers an idyllic setting, amid the beauty of nature.
Surrounded by greenery and set to take place under the starry sky, attendees will have the opportunity to sing along to Better and other beloved numbers from the musicians.
GoodLuck lead singer Juliet Harding told Independent Media Lifestyle they are “super excited” to perform at the concert.
“For us, it’s always been a memorable experience just to perform in such a naturally beautiful amphitheatre and we look forward to it each year,” she said.

“We are sharing the stage with one of our very good friends, Craig Lucas, making it an extra special evening.”
The award-winning band, originally from Cape Town, also have a surprise in store for attendees.
“As a little cherry on the cake, we decided to do a public gender reveal on stage, it’s going to be a lot of fun,” added Harding, who is six months pregnant.
