It was a night for the underdogs with many new faces claiming the highly coveted statues.

The big winners were the Wolfe Brothers from Tasmania, who took home four out of five awards.

Their haul included song of the year and contemporary album of the year for their release Country Heart.

The trio — Nick and Tom Wolfe and Brodie Rainbird — came from humble beginnings in rural Tasmania to be named as the runners-up in a reality television show in 2012.

Since then, their country rock style has seen them tour with the industry' elite, including Lee Kernaghan.

On accepting their awards, the trio said it was important they remained authentic to who they were as a group.

"When we first came into this town, it was our mission just to be us and I know sometimes it's really hit and sometimes it's really missed," Tom Wolfe said.

"I want to thank you for embracing us and what we do."

The Melbourne-based caravan sales and repairs worker was overwhelmed by the honour and spoke of his sacrifices for success.

"I want to say a big thank you to my friends from high school," he said.

"I'm sorry I haven't been around, I'm sorry I haven't met your kids until they're months old and thank you for sticking by me with it."

Meanwhile, the Hunter Valley's Travis Collins was named male artist of the year, taking home his seventh Golden Guitar win in three years.

International artist Morgan Evans was the winner of single of the year for his worldwide number one Day Drunk.

There were tears as Felicity Urquhart, Kevin Bennett and Lyn Bowtell accepted their award for vocal collaboration of the year.

Their song Every Hello featured respected artist and songwriter Karl Broadie, who died of cancer in 2016.

Bennett spoke about finding a demo tape of the track he and Broadie put together.

"Instead of organising us [Bennett, Bowtell and Urquhart] to sing it, I actually asked the family if we could use Karl's vocal and sing with him," he said.

"So we got the chance to sing with our great friend again and this is the result.

Urquhart said that Broadie had made "a huge impression on numerous lives in our room".

"It's been an absolute pleasure to have this experience, this song has been the one [special project] and this is a beautiful moment."

Queensland's James Blundell was named the 2019 inductee into the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame — Australian country music's highest honour.

"To wind up in a situation and be told that you've done something worthwhile, it's much more the case of saying thank you so much for putting up with me for 32 years," he said.

The awards marked the end of the 2019 Tamworth Country Music Festival, which officially closes today.
