Sara Evans looks down the road

Country star Sara Evans , who has reportedly been working on her sixth studio album, will head out on the road this spring for a handful of live shows.

The singer kicks off the outing April 18 in Auburn, AL, with more shows following in May, including a pair of dates in Ontario, Canada, along with casino shows in Indiana and Minnesota.

While Evans' summer itinerary remains somewhat cloudy, the performer has already lined up a concert slate in August, including four straight shows late in the month beginning with an Aug. 28 appearance in Chautauqua, NY. Details are included below.

In late 2007, Evans celebrated 10 years in the music business with the release of "Greatest Hits," which bowed at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 and reached No. 3 on the Top Country Albums chart. In addition to several No. 1 and Top 5 singles, the set features four new songs, including radio hits "As If" and "Some Things Never Change," both of which are streaming at the performer's MySpace page.

Evans' most recent album of all-new material, 2005's platinum-selling "Real Fine Place," rocketed to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and spawned hit singles "Cheatin'," "You'll Always Be My Baby," "Coalmine" and the title track.

According to a video posted in December to the fan-club section of Evans' website, she is currently working on a follow-up to "Real Fine Place" with her brother, Matt Evans, and producer Nathan Chapman. The album is expected to surface later this year.
