Sara Evans has signed with Nashville-based label Melody Place. She joins the label in partnership with her own imprint, Born to Fly Records.

Earlier this year, Melody Place announced it had re-branded to be more focused on artist-driven projects and career development. Evans plans to return to the studio in October to begin working on new music for 2024, her first album of original material in seven years.

“Throughout her career, Sara Evans has consistently proven why she is one of the most talented and respected entertainers in this business,” says Sanborn McGraw, Melody Place President/General Manager. “Her gift of writing and selecting the best material has given us unexpected hits and beloved country music anthems. Sara and her team share the Melody Place goal of finding outside of the box ways to grow an artist’s global reach. To make this signing and to join forces with Sara and Born to Fly Records is an incredible opportunity we couldn’t be more excited about.”

“As an artist I’m always looking for ways to bring my music to as many fans as possible,” says Evans. “When the Melody Place team approached me about working together and expanding all the things I’d already been doing with my own label – Born To Fly Records, it became clear that they share the same passion and excitement about trying new and innovative things to connect fans with music. I’m so excited to partner with them and get in the studio later this year to record my next studio album of new material!”

As the fifth most-played female artist at country radio in nearly the last two decades with five No. 1 singles include “No Place That Far,” “Suds In The Bucket,” “A Real Fine Place To Start,” “Born to Fly” and “A Little Bit Stronger,” which was certified Platinum, Evans plays close to 100 shows each year across the U.S.
