*******************
SARA STORER’s career sparked in the Territory and when she left the dust and remote area teaching behind, it exploded! After winning first prize in the Adelaide River Talent Quest, she was discovered at the Tamworth College of Country Music by Garth Porter, signed with ABC Music, released her debut album Chasing Buffalo and won the Best New Talent Golden Guitar.
In 2004, this songbird blitzed the 2004 CMAA awards when she took home a record 7 Golden Guitars for her 2nd album Beautiful Circle and is the first artist to simultaneously hold the 2 Top spots on the Country single’s chart.
She finds inspiration in the isolation of the outback, the land and its characters and returned to where it all began in 2005 to film the clip Since I’ve Gone and DVD The Territory Calling, for her 3rd release Firefly.
This songbird has gone the distance and brings a swag of new stories to the Darwin City Muster.
