Sara Evans (born February 5, 1971, in Boonville,
Missouri) is a country music singer.

==Biography==

Evans was raised on a farm near New Franklin,
Missouri. Music has always been a part of her life
and by age five was singing every weekend in her
family's band. When she was sixteen, she began
performing at a nightclub near Columbia, Missouri,
a gig that lasted two years.

She moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1991 with the
goal of becoming a country artist. That year she
met Craig Schelske there and a year later moved to
Oregon. They were involved both professionally and
personally. Craig and Sara were married in 1993
and they returned to Nashville in 1995. Sara began
recording demos. Songwriter Harlan Howard  heard
Sara's demo of one of his songs and decided she
should be the one to sing his music. She went
under contract with RCA.

Evans was the most nominated artist at the 2001
Country Music Association awards, and won her fist
CMA award when her song “Born to Fly� won the
award for Video of the Year.

Evans performed at the Republican National
Convention on August 23, 2004. She has three
children, Avery, Olivia and Audrey.

Evans filled in for LeAnn Rimes on the TV show
