Raised on country music, Messina began her career by performing live with her brother and sister in their hometown of Holliston, Massachusetts. At the age of nineteen, Messina moved to Nashville, Tennessee and entered local talent competitions in hopes of increasing her exposure and pursuing a record deal. Following regular appearances on the radio show “Live at Libby’s” and a successful demo tape, the singer caught the attention of Curb records, which signed Messina to its roster.
With the assistance of producers Byron Gallimore and a young Tim McGraw, Messina released her self-titled, debut album in March 1996. Spawning the Top 10 Country hits “Heads Carolina, Tails California” and “You’re Not in Kansas Anymore,” the record peaked at No. 22 on the Top Country Albums, catapulting the singer to national notoriety.
In 1998, Messina issued her sophomore album “I’m Alright,” which, in effect, turned her into a Country music star. Peaking at No. 5 on the Top Country Albums Chart, the record produced three Country No. 1 singles, “I’m Alright,” “Bye, Bye,” and “Stand Beside Me." This trifecta of chart-topping hits led to Messina being honored by the Country Music Association with the coveted “Horizon Award” (now known as "New Artist of the Year").
In an attempt to cross over to pop music fans, the singer-songwriter’s third full-length album, “Burn,” was a Country music record with a pop inflection. Spawning the Country No. 1’s “That’s the Way” and “Bring on the Rain,” the album was supported by tours alongside Vince Gill, George Strait, and The Judds.
The Christmas album “A Joyful Noise” appeared in late 2002, followed by the compilation “Greatest Hits” in 2003. In 2005, Messina released her sixth album, “Delicious Surprise,” once again topping the Country Music Albums chart. Earning positive reviews, the record hosted the singles “My Give a Damn’s Busted,” “Delicious Surprise (I Believe It),” and “Not Going Down.” Five years later, Messina released the last of her Curb Records projects, a trilogy of “Unmistakable” EPs: “Unmistakable: Love,” “Unmistakable: Drive,” and “Unmistakable: Inspiration."
In 2013, Messina launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to create and release her next studio album “Me.” The 2014 release was her most personal to date, allowing her to share the music she chose without limitations. The independent release also gave her the opportunity to consider the fans' favorites and honor them with tracks of their choosing. Subsequently, Messina continued to pave her own path and began to write and record songs in the Christian Contemporary space and released three independent singles, "Noel," the original "Bigger Than This," and "Reckless Love."
As of this date, Messina continues to tour nationally and internationally, performing her hits, unreleased self-penned songs, and Christian/worship music that has touched her heart. Messina's tour schedule is fluid and is constantly being updated, as she travels year-round to bring her show to fans around the globe.

I've always been a huge fan of Jo Dee Messina...I remember hearing her songs "Bye-Bye" and "That's the Way" being constantly played on the radio during the '90s and I got such an inspirational release from listening to them. I think the reason I fell so madly in love with her is her dedication to her music; she is so raw and real and vulnerable in her songs to the point where everyone who listens can relate to them at least for a little bit. When I heard she was going to be playing in Decatur, I just had to get tickets. That in itself was really exciting...buying tickets to see Jo Dee for the very first time! When we pulled in, I got this nervous feeling in my gut, the kind you get when you are going to give a speech or when you forget about something, and I just remember thinking: "I can't wait to actually see her perform live!!!" As me and my other friends were standing around waiting for her to walk out, we contemplated the set list that she was going to use and then without notice, out walks Jo Dee Messina! I screamed for joy at the top of my lungs. I was so excited, probably the most I've been in a while. The music started playing and the voice that came out of such a small person just blew me away. Jo Dee not only gave a 10/10 performance, she continually delivered the love to her fans that she started with. I am so proud to say that I've followed her from my childhood and am so impressed with the talent that this woman has. She is a TRUE platinum recording artist for all reasons: her voice, her lyrics and songs, her stage presence, and her ability to continually provide her fans, friends, family, etc. with wonderful music that will last a lifetime. I LOVE YOU, JO DEE MESSINA! Keep doing what you're doing and your soul will never be forgotten.

Country Music Association honouree Jo Dee Messina has been working the circuit tirelessly since she appeared way back in 1996 with her eponymous debut album. Since then she has well and truly found her place on the country circuit and now commands a stage and a fanbase with a cool charm.
She is incredibly patriotic and talks fondly of her home state during the show which receives huge cheers from the audience. Joined onstage by an extensive selection of musicians, they offer a new rich quality to Jo's music. The country stylings sound brilliant through perfect acoustics and Messina knows how to enthuse the crowds by including all the hits tonight such as 'Heads Carolina, Tails California' and 'I'm Alright'. She hits her stride by mid-set and confidently struts from side to side of stage in order to greet the cheering fans below. She dedicates a cover of 'Lesson In Leaving' by Dottie West to the venue this evening and this of course receives more cheers. She closes on a double high of 'My Give a Damn's Busted' and her number one track 'He's Messed Up'.

Lets come back to California. My daughter an three other friends enjoyed her at Winn River. We thought she came there annually and have a group of friends who were all planning to see her. She is a fabulous singer and I love that she was so down to earth and actually came to the bar following her performance and talked to us! Please come back to california. Marin county or Santa Rosa in Sonoma County would even be better!

She was AWESOME. A very good concert. JoDee Messina is personable and engaging and has great pipes. What a strong voice. She put on a terrific show in BHC AZ. The first song was bad - bad sound, bad lights, but immediately it started getting better and continued to get better and better. Clear sharp sound and everyone had a good time. Top tier performance!

It was an amazing concert! I have seen her several times and every time the next concert is better than the last! She has an amazing talent and voice let alone the ability to include her fans in her life and still be a humble, grateful person!
