Once upon a time, way back in 2005, Carrie Underwood was an up-and-coming female country artist, fresh off her win on 'American Idol.' Now an established name in country music (with the Grammys to prove it), the singer dishes on her favorite up-and-coming country gals.
This holiday season will be different for Sarah Darling, to put it mildly. She'll be celebrating her first Christmas with husband James Muriel, but she'll also be celebrating her first Christmas without her grandfather -- a man she calls the "rock" of the family.
Thanks to her dedication to the craft of songwriting, Sarah Darling is about to be honored for her commitment to music education. The National Association for Music Education recently announced that Darling is the recipient of this year's Stand Up for Music Award.
Singer Sarah Darling has announced she is engaged to marry her boyfriend James. The two are still enjoying the glow of a romantic vacation and proposal, and haven't dug deep into wedding planning quite yet, but the 'Home to Me' singer revealed she's thinking May 2014 for the ceremony.
