Sara Evans

The moment was one big family affair.

Bill Anderson asked Evans to join. He was the perfect man for the job.

Some of the genre's biggest artists will be on hand to celebrate Milsap's incredible career.

On March 7, 1998, Evans made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry.

On March 6, 1999, Evans earned her first No. 1 hit with "No Place That Far," the title track from her sophomore album.

Sara was part of a double elimination.

Since the late 1990s, Evans has made an impact on the country music scene with her upbeat hits, deeply emotional ballads and relatable lyrics ... and her music videos are pretty sensational as well.

Each night promises much more than just a tweaked setlist.

The elder Evans passed away two days shy of Thanksgiving.

She was only 8 years old.
