Sara Evans Finds New Label Home at Sugar Hill Records
The singer parted ways from her longtime label Sony Music Nashville in early 2016.
It’s a done deal – Sara Evans has officially signed a new recording contract!
The multi-platinum selling artist has signed with the Concord Music Group and will release her eighth studio album on Sugar Hill Records early next year. Evans joins fellow Sugar Hill Records artists Jewel, Lee Ann Womack, Josh Kelley, Shawn Mullins and Corey Smith as well as Concord Music Group artists Melissa Etheridge, James Taylor and more.
“I’m so excited to begin this next chapter of my career with the amazing team at Sugar Hill and Concord Music Group,” said Evans. “I appreciate how they allow their artists to have complete creative freedom in the music they make, and I love how they think outside of the box to find new and innovative ways to get that music to the fans. I’ve already begun writing and finding songs for the album, and couldn’t be happier with the direction it’s taking and what we’ve put together so far.”
“We are thrilled to have Sara Evans join the Rounder Label Group family. I’ve followed her astounding career and watched her grow as an artist and as an individual for years, from her first record Three Chords and the Truth to her 2011 smash ‘Stronger,’” said Tracy Gershon, Vice President of A&R for Rounder Label Group. “One aspect I’ve always admired about Sara is the excitement that others continue to have for her and the music – from publishers to fans and peers alike. We are honored to have her join the Rounder family and I can’t wait to share this next chapter of her musical journey.”
Evans first teased the news of a new record deal back in early July. “I will be signing with a new label, but I can’t say who it is yet,” she told The Boot. “That’s really exciting to me because it seems like a fresh start and a chance to work with new people who have different talents and who are creative in their own ways. I had a great, long run with Sony Records, and had great relationships and lots of success. But this is a new chapter for me, and I’m really excited about it.”
The singer parted ways from her longtime label Sony Music Nashville in early 2016 along with three other acts from the labels roster.
