HAPPENINGS

Leading the project as the songwriter and caretaker of Happenings, Georgia Siciliano has taken a reflective and honest approach to their writing, delving into themes of self-identity, love stuff and general ponderings of time and place. The band released their debut single Now is the Right Time in early October.
