Evans' full schedule, including dates with Chesney, is included below.

With no new studio album since 2005's "Real Fine Place," Evans teamed last year with the co-writers of her hit single "You'll Always Be My Baby" to produce a book based on the song. The book, co-authored by Tony Martin and Tom Shapiro, hit store shelves last November. In a press release, Evans termed it a "thank you to my fans" for standing by her during her recent marital problems.

The singer made news last October when she announced that she was filing for divorce from her husband, Craig Schelske. At the time, Evans also withdrew from her participation on ABC-TV's "Dancing With the Stars," citing the need to give her full attention to the couple's three children.
