In 2015 Sheila won Song of the Year for Love is so Right from Fair Play and was featured in their magazine as artist of the month. She was named the 2018 Entertainer of the Year at the Traditional Country Awards in Nashville, Tennessee.

Sheila was chosen to have one of her original songs included on the nationally released 2019 Compilation Album from the Texas Country Music Association. Her songs, Little Feather and Harley Fever, were nominated for Song and Video of the Year at the Josie Music Awards for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Her first solo album, “Uncertain, Texas,” was produced in 2019 by Kenny Lee Productions of Nashville. It was named 2022 Nashville’s Album of the Year and Shelia was named 2021 Entertainer of the Year Multi-Genre at the Josie Music Awards.
