Born in the bush - Raised on the road

TRACY COSTER was born into country music. Daughter of the legendary Stan Coster she grew up performing as a vital part of her fathers traveling show.

One thing you can say about Coster, she is nothing if not determined. Passionate about her heritage and the heritage of country music, she continues to take her music out on the road.

Her latest album “Coster Country” which has consolidated her position as one of the top bush ballad performers of our time, is a tribute to her late father Stan Coster.

Songs filled with emotion and some of the finest vocals that I have ever heard from her - Charlie Sparrow, Blue’s Country Magazine

It has received much recognition such as a finalist in no less than three categories in the 2004 Telstra Country Wide Southern Star, Independent Country Music Awards, and being named Australian Independent Country Music Awards 2004 Heritage Track Of The Year with ‘Bush Barbeque’.

Coster Country is a loving tribute … to the man and the music that was Stan Coster, delivered with depth and feeling by his daughter Tracy....shows that the new generation can get into our traditional Australian music. …well crafted, heartfelt tribute - Peter Coad, Capital News

Her whirlwind of success continued - with Tracy receiving her first Golden Guitar for Vocal Collaboration with Anne Kirkpatrick for ‘Back to the Saltbush Plain’ at the 2005 CMAA Golden Guitar Awards. Then Tracy proceeded to take out back to back awards for Album Of The Year & Comedy Song Of The Year at the Stan Coster Memorial Bush Ballad Awards.

This is one young lady who knows where she came from and where she wants be, and she just keeps on getting better.

The award winning album “Coster Country” is a collection of her Dad’s finest songs. The album features duets from the likes of John Williamson, Adam Harvey, Lee Kernaghan and Anne Kirkpatrick and there is also a very special duet with her Dad.

Recently claiming the 2005 Australian Independent Country Music Awards Album Of The Year & NSW Golden Medallion Awards Female Vocalist Of The Year.

Tracy knows first hand the joys and hardships of life on the road. Seventeen years of touring with her father non stop - we’re talking right through the centre; all through the outback; mining towns; missions; pubs; clubs; schools, you name it they played it. Towing caravans, changing tyres, loading in and setting up equipment were just some of her job descriptions. Five nights a week, ten months of the year she learned about paying her dues.
