Sara Evans
The latest artists to meet at the CMT Crossroads are Sara Evans and REO Speedwagon. The two will team up on songs and trade stories on an all-new episode of the series, which will premiere Sept. 19. This will mark Evans’ third time on the show.
“We met Sara Evans when REO played with Brad Paisley at the Sony Music Nashville annual cruise and we all became fast friends,” said REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin. “When we got the offer to do ‘CMT Crossroads’ with her we jumped at the chance to hear Sara’s sweet voice on our songs, and to put our spin on hers. Sara put me at ease right away and her energy is contagious.”
“I’ve been a huge fan of REO Speedwagon for as long as I can remember,” said Evans. “Their songs have been a part of the soundtrack of my life and I’m thrilled to be joining them on stage for ‘CMT Crossroads.’ It truly is a dream come true!”
