Evans has been called “one of the most compelling vocalists of her generation.” She is enjoying a prolific recording career with the release of her critically acclaimed seventh studio album Slow Me Down, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart and was named by Billboard Magazine as one of the 10 Best Country Albums of 2014. Evans, who appeared on the ABC series Nashville in 2014 where she played herself and performed her single “Put My Heart Down” with Luke Wheeler played by Will Chase, has shown no signs of slowing down as she performs across the country in support of Slow Me Down.
Evans is best known for her hits including “Suds In The Bucket, “A Real Fine Place To Start,” “Born To Fly,” “A Little Bit Stronger” and “No Place That Far.” She’s had five No. 1 songs, two No. 1 country albums, sold six million albums and has been nominated and/or won nearly 15 major music awards. Evans’ signature powerful vocals serve as a reminder of why she has had a level of success reserved for few.
Evans won the hearts of America as the first country artist to compete in ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. She also was chosen as one of People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People.”
Always interested and involved in charitable efforts, Evans has been an active member of the American Red Cross’ National Celebrity Cabinet since 2005 and was presented with the national Crystal Cross for her work with the organization.
