Posted by Cathy Dee The album has attracted lots of attention, and Stacey has achieved a number of milestones since its release. Stacey was nominated as one of the Golden Guitar’s Top 10 Best Female Vocalists of the Year, won the prestigious Frank Ifield International Spur Award, and was nominated by the Country Music Association of Australia for one of their Achiever Awards, Independent Entertainer of the Year. Stacey’s single, So Far Away, was included in the ABC’s inaugural Saturday Night Country’s Hottest Hits album, and has been on the Top 30 Country Charts ever since. Stacey is an endorsee for Ovation guitars, distributed by National Music in Australia. Two singles from Borders and Boundaries have charted both in Australia and Europe. Stacey’s next challenge is her nomination as Country Female Artist in the ACE - Australian Club Entertainment - Awards. She’s up against some hard hitters with Donna Boyd, Beccy Cole, Felicity Urquhart, and Melinda Schneider also in the running. The ACE Awards will be announced at a gala affair at the Canterbury/Hurlstone Park RSL Club in Sydney on October 26th. Stacey’s album Borders and Boundaries is the result of collaboration with well known country music producer Herm Kovac. “Winning the award means so much to me. It’s acknowledgement of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Doing what I love to do and being recognized for what I do makes me proud.” The Mildura Country Music Festival is one of the big three country music festivals in Australia, alongside the Tamworth Festival and the Gympie Muster. The major difference between the other two and the 19th annual Mildura Country Music Festival is that Mildura is Australia's biggest showcase of Independent entertainers. Other finalists in the female vocal category were Tania Kernaghan, Keri McInerney, and Tracy Coster.

Along with her friends Nicki Gillis, Samantha McClymont, Natalie Howard, Camille Te Nahu and Stu French, Stacey participated in the Mildura Country Music Festival all week and sang, literally, until she couldn’t anymore. She did 30 shows in 10 days. “I absolutely love the atmosphere and all of the collaborations that happen at a Festival like this one. It’s one big party – filled with great music.”
