Sara Evans

Sara Lynn Evans (born February 5, 1971, in New Franklin, Missouri) is a country singer and songwriter.

Evans was one of the few traditional-styled singers to emerge from Nashville in the late 1990s, according to Allmusic. Since emerging from the late-90s, Evans has made four No. 1 Country hits and Gold and Platinum-certified albums by the RIAA, like 2003's Restless and 2005's Real Fine Place. Her 2000 album, Born to Fly was certified Double-Platinum.

The single "Low" (sung by Sara Evans) was released to radio on September 29, 2008, to promote Billy: The Early Years (for the movie released October 10). The song is featured on the movie's soundtrack which was released on October 7, 2008, and also includes other big name country artists. "Low" debuted (and peaked) on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at #59 on October 12, 2008. It only remained on the chart for one week before returning for a second week in January 2009 at the same position.

A book called Sweet By and By, written by Evans and author Rachel Hauck, was released on January 5, 2010.[10][11] It is the first release of a four-book deal inked with Thomas Nelson Fiction. The second book will be Softly and Tenderly, and is to be released in January 2011, with the following third and fourth books to be released 2012 and 2013.

Evans stated in a video posting to her fan club on December 23, 2008, that she is working with her brother Matt Evans and producer Nathan Chapman on her sixth studio album. The lead-off single, "Feels Just Like a Love Song",[13] was released on July 20, 2009. The song debuted and peaked at #59 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart; after spending two weeks on the chart, it fell off. Her sixth studio album will be released in mid-2010, according to Sara in "Baby Blog" interview of family, life and career. The second single, "Desperately", is set for release to radio sometime in Spring 2010.

In 2009, ABC Daytime and SOAPnet sponsored a tour, headlined by Sara Evans, that featured performances throughout the summer. Additionally, soap talent made appearances at her shows. Evans also participated in performances on the networks, as well as on-air interstitial campaigns and online promotions.

In late 2009, Evans released a four-song Christmas EP, I'll Be Home for Christmas, to coincide with her 2009 Christmas tour. The EP includes the title track as well as "O' Come All Ye Faithful", "Go Tell It on the Mountain", and "New Again" (a duet with Brad Paisley). It was released on November 3, 2009 to digital retailers.
