JO DEE MESSINA IN CONCERT:
Country music just wouldn't be the same without Jo Dee Messina's spunky collection of hits and trademark red hair. Her catchy country tunes have dominated the charts since the '90s, and they're even more compelling live. Whether she's showcasing her vocal prowess on hits like "Head Carolina, Tails California" or sharing her spirited attitude with adoring concertgoers, Messina definitely knows how to get the crowd going, leading fans in fun sing-alongs and telling stories along the way. With the 2014 release of Me, her first new album in almost 10 years, Messina has fans fired up for her highly anticipated upcoming tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
A Massachusetts native, Jo Dee Messina started out singing in local clubs with her siblings, eventually attracting the attention of Curb Records and moving to Nashville. Her solo career kicked off in 1996 with her widely successful self-titled debut, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and produced two Top Ten singles. I'm Alright followed two years later and generated significant buzz with three No. 1 hits, ultimately going double platinum in the US. Since then, she's collaborated with Tim McGraw, toured with legends George Strait and The Judds, and sold over five million albums. With the desire to truly connect her fans to her music, Messina launched a Kickstarter campaign to support her 2014 album, reaching her goal in just 30 days due to her extremely dedicated fan base. Jo Dee Messina will treat audiences to her classics as well as new material from her fifth studio album Me on a string of upcoming shows.

Jodee clearly hasn’t lost anything. Possibly the best music show I’ve been to. Fantastic show. Wasn’t expecting a sermon though.
If you get a chance to see her, GO. She was amazing. So much energy and got the crowd involved during the entire concert. Her new song coming out soon is awesome. Added some spiritual meaning and shared her story. Best concert I’ve ever seen.
Best show I’ve been to in a long time!! She sounds great!!
Loved the concert. Jo Dee Messina did an amazing job as always. She was phenomenal! Her opening act, Alyssa Flaherty was great too!
I enjoyed her performing her hits. I relived some good memories when she played parts of some “golden oldies.” My favorite parts of the whole performance was when Jo Dee talked about Jesus and sang “The Jesus I Know.” Thank you, Jo Dee, for your concert which God used to bless me, and I’m sure others as well.
Had great seats second row in the center, venue was nice, JoDee's performance was amazing always she such a great singer, songwriter and she inspires many with her stories and music.
I was in the upper balcony, but the experience was still fantastic.
Her talent with song writing and strong voice is remarkable!! I have told others they have got to see her show. Choctaw venue has a great sound system for their shows
I had a great time at the concert, and I met a lot of new people. The vibe was great, I plan to come back soon.
I've seen Jo Dee 4 times now. She puts on an an awesome show. I love her hits from the past, she did a fun medley of 80’s and 90’s hits that the crowd sang along to, and she sang a few gospel. The crowd seemed to like that the most! Anytime she's within a three hour radius, I will go see her.
I have loved JO DEE since she her first album release and sing her songs like they are my life's anthem !! She came out on stage full of fire and lit up the night for about an hour and half !! She sang alot of her greatest hits, and a medley of top hits from "back in the day of various artists and threw in a few christian music songs which were some favorites of mine as well!! She really engaged the audience and put on a great show in my opinion !! If you have never seen her in concert, do yourself a favor and catch her the next time she comes to your town, you just might be surprised at how fantastic she is !! 5 stars all the way for JO DEE !!❤❤
It was a "GREAT Concert!!! I would love to see her again.
Great concert played her hits plus an 80s medley gave her testimony and played a couple of Christian songs. She was fantastic!
Had a lot of fun. She really engaged with the audience. Awesome time.
Definitely one of my top ten concerts and I’ve been to thousands of concerts.
Wonderfully personal in engaging the crowd. Strong, beautiful voice. Really shows how she cares for her audience.
I got these tickets for my husband and me somewhat at the last minute, but wow - we were sure glad we went! We had a great time! Jo Dee Messina is very energetic and engaging with the crowd, and she and her band were technically excellent! She is also very upbeat, optimistic and inspiring, both as a performer and as a person. George Birge opened, and he was great as well! The whole night was packed full of entertainment. Highly recommend!
Loved her show. She interacted with the crowd. She took us to church (some really needed that) and played all her hits. I would go and see her again. Great job Jo Dee...
Great show and great seats. Can’t wait until our next show
Really wanted to see/hear the opening act (G. Birge). All notifications showed the show to start at 8:00. We walked in the arena at 7:55 and G. Birge was doing his final song. Was never notified that the show would start earlier. We were very disappointed that ticket master did not notify us that the opener would start at 7:30 or whenever he started.
