Sara Evans

Description

Sara Evans has amassed an impressive collection of awards, including female vocalist from the Academy of Country Music and video of the year from the Country Music Association for her ground breaking clip "Born to Fly." At the root of all those accolades is a God-given talent fueled by an impressive Midwestern work ethic instilled by her parents. She grew up singing in her family's band and then moved to Nashville looking for a record deal. Legendary songwriter Harlan Howard heard her on a demo and helped open a door for her at RCA Records where she's been ever since. "I've always felt like I'm a very lucky person," says Evans. "To be given a gift to sing, I don't know why the Lord has blessed me with this talent, but it has always made me feel lucky. I always appreciate those special moments like having a No. 1 record or doing a great show." Seven albums into an already impressive career and Evans has never been more excited about the music she's making. "I feel like I sang with a ton of confidence this time around," she says. "You always want to get better with your craft and your art. I'm always striving to sing better, write better and perform better, and so far I'm super happy with the outcome."
