Brief hiatus from tour, then heading out West with Martin Sexton!


From Montreal to Duluth, with lots of snowstorms in between, the first leg of this winter tour has been a wonderful adventure!  
Audiences everywhere have been very enthusiastic and supportive and I'm having a really great time performing and learning to just go with the flow of being on the road.  If we run into a snowstorm and barely make it to the club and I don't have time to shower - what the heck!  I just splash some water on my face, add lipstick and heels, warm up the voice and go out there and do it!

Next week we head out west to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska, then back east to Ohio.  I'm looking forward to exploring them all!  I have never been to Colorado and I'm especially looking forward to taking in Aspen and Steamboat Springs and meeting up with friends in Breckenridge. Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming will be firsts as well and what's not to love about Cleveland, Ohio!  I hope I have time to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while I'm there.

Below are some pics from the past couple of weeks - hope you enjoy!

The tour is going very well - the audiences have been wonderful and I'm having a blast!


Martin Sexton is a truly amazing performer, and it's a thrill to be working with him.

Highlights of 2010 and Upcoming Tour Information

What a year it was!  Very exciting and busy, and I'm very happy with how 2011 is shaping up!


This is what 2010 was like for me:


After releasing my debut CD in Dec. 09, the title cut and first single, "Keep on Going",  made it to number 6 on the FMQB a/c radio charts.  The song was then released to Country Radio early in 2010.  In February and March I went on a tour to Country radio stations in the South and saw some great sites in AL, TN, GA, KY and VA (some of them through ice and snowstorms!).  I met some wonderful people and had a great time seeing this beautiful part of our country.

In the spring I had a little time off and visited Tuscany, Budapest, Vienna and Prague with family and friends.

During the summer, the single, "Keep on Going", was released to major market a/c radio. We were extremely happy that the song made the top 30! We were only one of 2 indy artists to have that distinction. (BTW, the other indy artist to make top 30, was Brooke White from American Idol fame.)

After the success of "Keep on Going" on Country radio, we released our second single to Country fans, "Like I'm Leaving". The song was played on nearly 100 country radio stations around the U.S. and so we hit the road for the month of August!  Back to TN, KY and MO. Saw some old friends and met some new. Also visited KS and OK for the first time. Lots of oil wells and wide open spaces! and wonderful people!

The month of September was spent rehearsing for an appearance at the legendary Towne Crier Cafe in New York. This was the  first time singing the new songs live with a full band. Great crowd, great band, great time!!

November and December found me busy with family, planning for the holidays and also preparing for my upcoming tour with  Martin Sexton!  That right - in January and February I'll be going on tour with the incredibly talented singer/songwriter Martin Sexton, who John Mayer called the best live performer he has ever seen! You can check out Martin's website at www.MartinSexton.com.  I think this will be a terrific tour and I look forward to performing in so many interesting cities.


Below, I've posted all of the tour dates and locations. Hopefully I'll be in a city near you! Please let me know if you'll be attending any of the shows- I would love to hear from you.


And, if you happen to be flying Delta Airlines in January or February you can tune into their Hello Music Independent Channel, which is channel 9A, and hear my song "Keep on Going."


It's been a wonderful year. I have enjoyed hearing from new fans from around the world and I'm grateful for the support I've received. 


Wishing everyone joy, prosperity and above all, good health for the New Year! 


Keep on Going! 

Joanna
