Big Aussie award winners
Lee Kernaghan may have taken out the most Golden Guitars, but the 42nd CMAA Country Music Awards was Sara Storer's night.
Kernaghan's single Flying with the King took Single of the Year and Video of the Year, while his Beautiful Noise took out Top Selling Australian Album of the Year.He was also named Male Artist of the Year.
But, it's Sara Storer who was the toast of the industry on Saturday Night, taking out three Golden Guitars after a six-year hiatus from writing.
She took out Female Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for her 2013 album Lovegrass.
Her song Pozie, sung with John Williamson, took out Vocal Collaboration of the Year.
It's a remarkable comeback for Storer, who almost gave up writing after having children.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell was on hand to present the New Talent of the Year award to Tamworth local Ashleigh Dallas, who is the granddaughter of Golden Guitar winner Rex Dallas
Luke O'Shea and Drew McAlister took out Heritage Song of the Year and APRA Song of the Year for their song Lady of the Land, inspired by the life of Slim Dusty's wife Joy McKean.
Group or duo of the year was awarded to husband and wife team O'Shea, who accepted the award via video from Nashville.
John Williamson presented iconic country artist and Hall of Fame inductee Ted Egan with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
