JO DEE MESSINA
SET TO RETURN IN SPRING 2010 WITH ‘UNMISTAKABLE,’
HER FIRST ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS

FIRST SINGLE “THAT’S GOD” TO BE RELEASED IN
JANUARY

THE SONG IS BEING DEBUTED ON HER
“MUSIC ROOM SERIES TOUR,”
AN INTIMATE EVENING OF MUSIC AND CONVERSATION

Multi-platinum country singer/songwriter JO DEE MESSINA has been uniquely connecting with audiences on her ongoing national “Music Room Series Tour”–an intimate evening of music and conversation with fans–and has just announced she will release a new single, “That’s God,” in January 2010. It will set up her first album in five years–UNMISTAKABLE–over which time JO DEE has married and had her first child, a 10-month-old son named Noah.  Due in the spring, UNMISTAKABLE shows that JO DEE has fully come into her own as a songwriter and producer–she co-produced the whole album–and isn’t afraid to show her true colors. 

"With the Unmistakable album, it lets people see a different side of me than they have seen in the past,” says JO DEE. “For example, I actually recorded straight forward love songs on this album, something I am definitely not known for.”

JO DEE has been debuting “That’s God”–which she wrote with Brent Rader–along the tour, earning a wildly enthusiastic audience response for its uplifting lyrics, which JO DEE delivers in her signature soaring voice. “My heart is exploding with excitement.  This song is truly what I want to say.  I believe in it and its message.” 

Since breaking onto the music scene in 1996, JO DEE has scored nine #1 country singles, sold over five million records, received two Grammy nominations and received various CMA and ACM awards.  Her many hits include “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” “Bye Bye,” “I’m Alright,” “Stand Beside Me,” “That’s The Way” and “Bring On The Rain” (a duet with Tim McGraw). 

JO DEE’s next run of dates on the “Music Room Series Tour” wraps November 29 with three nights in Reno, NV.  On the road she has been building on her bond with fans as only she can. 

"The shows have been so much fun because they are totally interactive, from the show itself, to giving away tickets via Twitter prior to the show, to the internet broadcast following the show. It is truly all about the fans."
