In July of 2011, The Stacy Brooks Band competed and won The Battle of The Bands at The Sedalia Blues Festival in Big Island, Virginia, and represented in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge in January 2012.

The highly anticipated Love Peace and The Blues CD was released in September 2011 to wonderful reviews and airplay. Bluesmen Kenny Neal and Memphis Gold are co-producers of the CD along with Stacy. The CD includes a duet with Kenny Neal, and she wrote and arranged 12 of the 14 songs. The CD also includes German lyrics to pay tribute to her German background.
