Country star celebrates new album with virtual performance, Q&A and meet and greet
Sara Evans is celebrating the success of her brand-new album, Copy That, with a livestream performance on Friday, May 29th. The special event, featuring Sara playing a mix of hits and new music, taking a request or two, a Q&A and meet and greet, will benefit local venues in four states – Indiana, Nebraska, Texas and Wisconsin.
Local Venues supported by the livestream include Riviera Theater/The Pabst Theater Group in Milwaukee, WI; Meyer Theater in Green Bay, WI; Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center in Midland, TX; Victory Theater in Evansville, IN; and Orpheum Theater, Omaha Performing Arts in Omaha, NE.
“Participating in the Sara Evans live stream performance not only provides much needed financial help for The Pabst Theater Group during these difficult times, it also helps us to stay connected with our community and provide them with one of the very special things that has been taken away from them…the beauty of a live performance,” states Gary Witt, CEO Pabst Theater Group-Milwaukee.
“We’re really excited to bring Sara into the Omaha area and be a part of a new initiative to connect with our community,” shares Andy Cassano, Vice President of Programming & Education for Omaha Performing Arts.
Copy That, the first solo studio album in three years from multi-platinum star Sara Evans, released on May 15th and debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Country Chart. Co-produced by Evans and Jarrad K (Ruston Kelly, Weezer, Goo Goo Dolls), and released on her own Born To Fly Records, the 13-song collection spans six decades. Featuring collaborations with Old Crow Medicine Show and Little Big Town’s Phillip Sweet, Copy That showcases Evans’ creative take on some of the most iconic songs in country and pop music, songs that have inspired her life and career, as well as shines a spotlight on some little-known gems. Evans pays tribute to her early days fronting her family band and covers everyone from Hank Williams to Patsy Cline, Fleetwood Mac, The Pretenders, Poco, John Mayer, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Chicago and more.
Evans will continue her wildly popular Closet Chaos Instagram Live series each Monday. The hilarious series, which she has been doing alongside daughter Oliva Barker, has welcomed guests such as Tony Dovolani, Clinton Kelly, Martina McBride, Melissa Peterman, and Phillip Sweet.
