Updates and press for new single, Where Does Good Love Go, with Richie McDonald

Happy Fall everyone!

The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are getting cooler – and if you live in the north eastern US – you have already had snow!  I wanted to check in and let you know what I’m up to this winter. 

As most of you know, I recently released a new single, a duet with former Lonestar lead singer, Richie McDonald.  The song is called “Where Does Good Love Go” and it has been getting lots of airplay on country radio stations and garnering some great reviews I’m happy to say!

If you haven’t had a chance to listen to it, go to www.JoannaMosca.com and give it a listen!  And send an email with your review - I would love to hear your feedback!

At the end of this blog is text from a recent press article that appeared in several country music industry magazines and online sites, including:

Music Industry News Network, the largest online daily newswire serving the music industry. 
New Music Weekly, a high trafficked industry website.
Music News Nashville, a website and newsletter that profiles new and established artists, CD reviews, event/performance listings around Nashville, songwriter contests and singing competitions, etc.  
Today’s Country Magazine, a publication whose objective is to provide both local and up and coming artists with front-page coverage and keeping fans connected with up to date information on today's stars.

I’m thrilled with all this great news and wanted to share it with YOU! 

I will be heading to Nashville in December for more media events, performances and to work with some great country songwriters on new material.  I will post more details on that trip later this month.

Thanks, as always, for your support!

Contemporary Country Chanteuse Joanna Mosca’s Single Where Does Good Love Go Continues To Charm Listeners and Garner Great Reviews

  
Joanna Mosca, the contemporary country newcomer with a voice as refreshing as it is inspiring, is no stranger to professional success. That’s why it comes as no surprise that this confident, accomplished woman is now successfully pursuing her lifelong dream of singing country music. In fact, her most recent single, a duet with former Lonestar frontman Richie McDonald, Where Does Good Love Go, is burning up the country charts and getting great feedback from radio.


BC Corbin, Music Director at KLOA-AM in Ridgecrest, CA said the little tune is “the greatest inspiration I’ve seen and heard” dubbing it a “new breath of fresh air!”

Also jumping on the Joanna Mosca bandwagon is DJ Gator at WFKY-AM, Froggy 104.9 in Frankfort, KY. He applauded the single saying it’s a “great song…their voices match like biscuits and gravy!”

Even more encouraging is this little gem from a recent review in Music News Nashville. “Mosca is an artist that can float from style to style and do so in a manner that sounds almost effortless,” said reviewer Chuck Dauphin. “The…single…is a fine example of what she can do with a modern Country arrangement.”

Indeed! This mid-tempo little diddy, which was produced by country superstar Bryan White who also plays drums on the track, successfully showcases the voice of each singer while staying close to their country roots. A great jumping off point for Joanna, an inarguably talented woman who is sure to go far!

Rising singer/songwriter Joanna Mosca rediscovered her passion for singing and performing after having successful careers in both nursing and hospital administration, Joanna is now focusing her efforts on achieving music stardom. Her uncanny ability to fall into many different genres of music including country, adult contemporary and indie-pop enables this vocal powerhouse to attract fans from all walks of life. And with an inspiring debut album under her belt, she’s sure to garner a lot more!

Joanna Mosca Spring/Summer Updates: Merchandise Store & Much More

Hello Everyone!


I hope you are having a wonderful Spring and looking forward to a great Summer!  I know I am!


As most of you know, I spent the early part of this year on tour in Canada and the US with the extraordinarily talented singer/songwriter, Martin Sexton.  What a thrill and what an experience.  Audiences in both countries were very welcoming and responsive to my music.  Touring can be exhausting, but this was well worth every moment spent either in a car or on a plane.  I loved meeting new fans and saying hello to old ones.  If you were at one of the shows - thank you again for supporting live music in addition to your support of my CD!  To view photos of the tour, visit the photos section on my Facebook Fan Page. 

A Big Announcement Coming Soon Regarding A New Single!

I can't really reveal too much yet, but it looks like I may be heading back to Nashville soon for a very exciting recording.  Keep checking my website - and your inbox!  We are just days away from announcing the details!  You won't want to miss this!

So many of you have been emailing asking when I will have merchandise for sale, and I'm pleased to announce that we now have Totebags, T-Shirts, Tanks, Hoodies, Mugs, Water Bottles, and so much more available!  You can make a purchase by clicking on this link http://www.cafepress.com/JoannaMoscaStore or by going to my website and clicking on the Store tab.  


Also, if you haven't been to my website recently, come take a look!  There are many new updates,  features, links and free downloads that have been added.

Home from the road! Finished the second leg of my tour with Martin Sexton!


Whew - what a whirlwind tour, but it was great. I came down with the flu at the end of the tour, but at least it held off until the END of the tour! What an amazing ride it was and thanks to everyone for all their support!

This go round we started in Bozeman, Montana.  Loved the Bozeman crowd! It's a great town and home of the original Ted's Montana Grill located in Bozeman's Historic Baxter Hotel. (Of course I had to go there to eat a delicious bison burger.)
The Baxter Hotel in Bozeman, MN
Our gig was in the amazing theater space at The Emerson Cultural Center. The center is just a few years old and is beautifully designed with courtyards, sculptures, unique works of art, etc. This was such a great theater to perform in with their state-of-the-art lights and sound. 

Next we moved on to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, passing through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Gorgeous scenery and some Bison sightings! I fell in love with the charming little town of Jackson Hole tucked right into the middle of the massive mountains.

Great theater and audience at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts.  Thanks guys for being so into my music!

Next stop, Colorado.  We had three shows in the state, the first being in Steamboat Springs.  We played the Ghost Ranch Saloon.  Steamboat Springs was another beautiful mountain town.  So picturesque!  I also really enjoyed seeing some friends at that performance.  It is a real treat to see a familiar face in the crowd when you are on the road, doing so much travelling.  Thanks Cory and gang!

Loved performing at Belly Up in Aspen, Colorado. Amazing space and sound! Really nice light/sound crew!! Thanks Mike, Jay, Sam and Kyle!  Check out the pic of this beautiful club below.

All right, gotta keep moving because our next gig is in Breckenridge, Colorado at Three20South.  Our drive from Aspen to Breckenridge took us through Vail,  and we saw lots of streams, and of course, snow covered mountains mixed with evergreen groves. It inspired me and reminded me of what a beautiful country we live in. 
Downtown Breckinridge, CO
Loved the town of Breckenridge, this was one of my favorite stops. Performed at Three20South  which was a little different than some of the other venues because the audience is standing right up close to the stage. Loved all the great energy! I also had friends come to the show here and again, it was so great to see them. Thanks Breckenridge and thanks to Shirley and friends for being there! 


From Breckenridge we drove (9 hours, yuck!) to Omaha. Nebraska.  The scenery changed quite dramatically. No more mountains. lots of flat, desert-like open spaces.  After recovering from our drive I spent some time walking around the Old Market District in downtown Omaha. There are many restored 19th century brick warehouses and buildings which are now home to great shops and restaurants.  
Old Union Station in Omaha, now a museum
The Diner in the Old Market District
Our performance was booked at the Holland Performing Arts Center. We had another packed house, and another great audience! Thank you Omaha!! 


After the 9 hour drive to Omaha, we just couldn't bear a 13 hour drive to Cleveland, Ohio so we flew there. Definitely the way to go! Loved Cleveland and had a chance to visit the amazing Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.   Our gig was at the Beachland Ballroom and it was a perfect way to end the tour.  Great room and a great Cleveland crowd!


All in all I have to say - what an exhilarating experience!  Martin Sexton is an amazing performer and I was thrilled to be touring with him.  Many thanks to my two great guitar players, Freddy Shehadi on the first leg of the tour and Carl Allocco on the second half.  I couldn't have done it without you guys!!!


Thanks also to my incredibly supportive family, friends and fans - I'm so grateful for you all.

my many dressing rooms from my sweet husband!
Thanks for checking in and I'll keep you posted on my plans for the spring!

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!
