It was about eight years ago when Sara Evans<\/a> really started bragging about her oldest son.<\/p>\n

To me, anyway. There\u2019s kind of an unwritten rule among mothers: you can tell me how perfect your kid is, and then I\u2019ll tell you how perfect mine is. (I didn\u2019t make the rule, but I\u2019ve complied with it ever since my own kids were little.)<\/p>\n

So when Evans\u2019 son Avery was 11, she told me all about how musically gifted he was already. \u201cHe plays the drums, the guitar, he raps. And he\u2019s obsessed with Eminem and Lil Wayne, so we download all the clean versions of their songs,\u201d she\u2019d told me<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

For years, she shared with me everything her kids were doing, and most of the time it had something to do with the music. Avery (19), Olivia (16) and Audrey (14) \u2014 from her first previous marriage to Craig Schelske \u2014 have grown up watching their mom share her music and her voice with the world.<\/p>\n

And now it\u2019s official. Avery and Olivia will be joining forces with their mom to become The Barker Family Band.<\/p>\n

Evans herself was part of her own family\u2019s band when she was growing up, and it\u2019s clear from her new side project that she\u2019s carrying on that tradition. On April 12, the family band will release a six-song EP. And then in May they will head out on the road for an acoustic tour at City Wineries in Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago and Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily is everything to me and making a record like this has been a dream for me since my kids were little,\u201d Evans said, echoing the #familyiseverything sentiment she shares so often on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were literally raised on a tour bus around music and this is something that I\u2019ve wanted to do for a long time,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored that I get to make this music with them before they embark on their own careers as musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bloodline tour dates:<\/p>\n

May 7: Washington, D.C.
May 8: New York, NY
May 9: Boston, MA
May 15: Atlanta, GA
May 17: Chicago, IL
May 18: Nashville, TN<\/p>\n
