JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Country music star and Missouri native Sara Evans will perform at an inaugural ball for Gov. Eric Greitens.

Greitens' senior adviser, Austin Chambers, announced Evans' performance to reporters shortly before the Republican's Monday inauguration.

Her performance will top off a day of ceremonies for Greitens and four other newly elected Republican statewide officials.

Lt. Gov. Mike Parson, Treasurer Eric Schmitt, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Attorney General Josh Hawley also were sworn in Monday.

The inaugural ball is a Missouri tradition. Greitens and First Lady Sheena Greitens will dance to the "Missouri Waltz" before Evans performs.

Evans' songs include country hits "Born to Fly," ''Perfect" and "Suds in the Bucket."
