Upon his return in August, he took part in the "Cannot Buy My Soul" concert at the Queensland Music Festival. Butler performed alongside other local musicians (including Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins, Troy Cassar-Daley, Clare Bowditch, Tex Perkins and Bernard Fanning) reinterpreting the catalogue of indigenous Australian musician Kev Carmody. Butler's interpretation of the song, "Thou Shalt Not Steal", was included on the compilation album, and later was featured on the iTunes Deluxe album of "Grand National". Butler participated at the Garma Festival of Traditional Cultures located in Northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.
