Singer-songwriter Fanny Lumsden took home five Tamworth Golden Guitar Awards for her album Fallow.
The artist took to the stage to accept the prestigious Toyota Album of the Year and Female Artist of the Year.
The album was released into the world in the wake of devastating bushfires and on the brink of a global pandemic.
Lumsden also won the Golden Guitar for Alt Country Album of the Year, Apple Music Single of the Year for Fierce and CMT Video of the Year for Mountain Song/This Too Shall Pass which she directed with husband Dan Stanley Freeman.
Most of her family made the trip to Tamworth to support her at the event.
The awards - hosted by Andrew Swift and Catherine Britt - marked a reunion for the country music community following the mayhem caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The 49th annual Golden Guitar Awards night was put on by Tamworth Regional Council and the Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA).
CMAA chair Dan Biddle said the night showed the resilience of the country music community - and Tamworth.
Tamworth's Aleyce Simmonds took home a Golden Guitar Award on Saturday night, with great mates Amber Lawrence, Kirsty Lee Akers and Dianna Corcoran.
The girl squad won Vocal Collaboration of the Year for their moving all-female rendition of John Williamson's True Blue.
The team performed True Blue live at the ceremony.
The McClymont sisters won the Country Capital News Group/Duo of the Year and Contemporary Country Album of the Year for their record Mayhem to Madness.
Luke O'Shea took out the Traditional Country Album of the Year for There in the Ochre and Heritage Song of the Year with Kamilaroi man Kevin Bennett, for their collaboration Happy Australia Day.
Melody Moko went home with her first Golden Guitar Award, after being named New Talent of the Year, while the ever popular Travis Collins took out Male Artist of the Year.
