About Sara Evans

Born and raised on a Missouri farm, Sara Evans has a firm grip on her title as queen of the country music charts. Blessed with a classic country voice that can shift from breathy croon to raucous twang in seconds, Evans' fans have stood by her through several stylistic turns. Music has been a constant in Evans life as per country music tradition, she was playing in a family band at age five and holding her own in beer soaked nightclubs at sixteen. After cutting a sparely produced, traditional country record for her debut, Three Chords to the Truth, Evans caught the attention of the nation with her second, more pop-country album, No Place That Far. The record title was also the name of the second single, a smooth duet with superstar Vince Gill. The single hit number one and Sara Evans was a star. Since going gold, Evans has released her versatile third disc, Restless, that blends elements of her playful pop side with her traditional acoustic roots. 2006 has been a rollercoaster year for Evans. After gracing the pages of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful list and touring extensively for her fourth critically acclaimed disc Real Fine Place another audience-pleasing mix of party-twang anthems, warm ballads and even a solemn, spiritual hymn?her life seemed close to perfect. But just like one of her darker songs, Evans' fairytale took a rough turn when her high profile divorce was thrust into the public eye after she bowed out of the hit show Dancing With the Stars, citing emotional exhaustion. Since then the fairly private Evans has been the focus of rumors and constant media attention from concerned fans and gawkers. Fans express their sympathy and support on many websites and they're certain that, just like a character in one of her empowering songs, Sara Evans will come out stronger than ever.
