SARA EVANS TURNS GRAND OLE OPRY INDUCTION INTO A FAMILY AFFAIR

SARA EVANS INCLUDED HER CHILDREN AND BROTHER IN HER BACKING BAND THIS WEEKEND WHEN SHE WAS INDUCTED INTO THE GRAND OLE OPRY.

Crystal Gayle inducted a tearful Sara Evans into the Grand Ole Opry this weekend, and Evans truly made it a family event.

The singer brought her brother and adult children to play and sing in the backing band.

Evans teared up as she turned around and thanked them. But, she acknowledged her other family members who made the trip from Missouri first.

“Where’s my family?” Evans asked, peering into the crowd. “Wave to me!”

The “Suds in the Bucket” singer explained it takes “a lot of people” to get one person into her position in the spotlight. She said her trek to Opry membership started as a child with her mother when her mom realized that Evans and her brothers had musical talent.
