Sara Evans Tickets

Sara Evans born February 5, 1971 as Sara Linn Evans in Booneville, Missouri.

Sara Evans grew up on a farm in Missouri. At the age of four she began to play music. Only a little later she appeared with two siblings as Evans Family Band. At sixteen, she was on the stage of a local dance hall every Saturday night.

In 1991, she moved to Nashville where she worked as a waitress. Here she met the musician Craig Schelske. She joined his band and married him two years later. The group undertook extensive tours. In 1995, Evans returned to Nashville. The well-known songwriter Harlan Howard drew attention to her and arranged a record contract with the RCA label.

Her first album, Three Chords and the Truth, was released in 1997. She received good reviews and earned her an Academy of Country Music Awards nomination but was not commercially successful. She made the breakthrough with her second album, No Place That Far, which was gilded after the eponymous single had conquered the top position of the country charts and could also place herself in the pop hit parade. Some of the songs of this album had been composed by Evans himself. Well-known figures from the country scene contributed to the recordings, including Vince Gill, Martina McBride, George Jones, Alison Krauss and Jamie O’Hara.

In 2000, she returned to the top of the country charts with the single Born To Fly, which was released from her third album. The video was named “Video of the Year” by the Country Music Association 2001. The album itself reached double platinum status.
