News about my new single, Dream On Savannah!




Hey Everyone,

I hope you all are having a great summer. I just wanted to share some exciting news. My latest single, Dream On Savannah, from my new EP, Let It All Begin, has just been released to country radio and early reviews have been great.  I’m so excited about this song.  It really captures the essence of who I am and the obstacles and doubt I've had to overcome in high school and later in my life when I decided to pursue a career in music.   I hope the song touches you the same way it touches me, please enjoy.

Please stop by my website www.JoannaMosca.com if you want to hear the new song!  The song is also available for purchase on I-tunes.

I also wanted  to let you know that I’ll be making an announcement about the official release of my new EP in the days to come, stay tuned.


Thanks, as always, for your support!
Happy Summer,
Joanna

Hello Everyone!
Hope you are having a wonderful and colorful spring.  Everything is in bloom everywhere I look and that always makes me smile, and sometimes sneeze! The past couple of months have been very busy for me and I wanted to let you know what I have been up to!

I recently spent some time in beautiful Nashville, Tennessee where I recorded the vocals for two brand new songs for my soon to be released EP entitled “Let It All Begin.”  I’m once again working with Grammy winner Bryan White who is producing this EP.  One of the songs I’m doing called, "I Guess That Says it All", was also written by Bryan.  (He’s a multi-talented guy!)  It's a beautiful, heartbreaking song which I can't wait for you to hear. (It's always more fun to record the "tear your heart out songs.” I don't know why!)  I had great fun with Bryan and engineer Jason in Bryan's beautiful studio. I’ll be back in Nashville soon to record a few more song and we should be ready for a late spring release. I’ll keep you posted!

In February I attended the Annual Country Radio Seminar held in Nashville.  This event brings Country Radio people from all over the world together for educational meetings, networking, performances and fun. I saw some great performances by Lady A, Darius Rucker, Faith Hill, George Strait, Alan Jackson, I’m Josh Turner, Lee Ann Womack and some American Idol alumni, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina. (I met Scotty and he's as sweet and humble as he seemed when he was on the show.)

During the day I did radio and magazine interviews and met some wonderful people working in the journalism area of the Country Radio industry.
Christian Lamitschka from Germany’s Country Music International

David Pierce from Today’s Country Magazine
Steve Martin from Lexington Broadcasting

I had the opportunity to send a video message of support to our US Marines and I recorded some Public Service Announcements for several great organizations and charities, including World Vision, Save The Music, Inc., and City of Hope. While recording a PSA for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) I had the privilege of meeting two of MDA's young Ambassadors, Sara and Bryson I loved meeting them, they were filled with life and joy and hope. You can see it in the photo below.



CRS after hours was another whole event. As you might imagine, there were lots of bands playing in town, numerous parties and several late nights. My favorite place, however, was the infamous Bridge Bar at the Renaissance Hotel which is the place to be during CRS weekend!

Nashville is truly one of the best cities in the South for “comfort food”, and my favorite comfort food haunt in Nashville is called Rotier's. I went there on my last night and it was fried catfish and grits night. OMG. Heaven! I also indulged in one of their famous milkshakes!  The entire meal was pure joy!

It was a wonderful and exciting trip full of people who are absolutely passionate about Country music, from performers, to journalists to fans.  I can’t wait to attend next year’s seminar!

Happy Spring,
Joanna

Happy Holidays!

I hope this newsletter finds everyone doing well during this wonderful season.

As a kick off to my holiday season, I spent a week in Nashville, TN, performing, meeting with DJs, songwriters, doing interviews and making many new friends along the way.

The first part of my visit included performing at the legendary Bluebird Cafe.  This place is full of country music history.  We played to a very appreciative packed house full of people who listened to every lyric and note.  I loved working with my amazing guitarist, Shayne Hill (you may remember his name from the very successful band, Sawyer Brown!).  In addition to the photos below, there are video clips of the show on my Facebook Fan Page, Reverbnation and MySpace.

I had the pleasure to attend a meet and greet holiday party at the Country Music Association  and Nashville Songwriters Association International, of which I'm a member.  Always great to connect with new people and discuss this ever evolving music industry.

I also did a radio interview and performance with the wonderful DJ Captain Jack at Renegade Radio.  Captain Jack is a live wire and so much fun to talk to!  I had a blast.  Jack is a New Jersey native who is now happily living in Nashville.

Signing the "Wall of Fame" at Renegade Radio

My publicists, PLA Media  held their holiday party at Pie in the Sky Pizza, and the party was followed by a songwriter's night at the Hotel Indigo in Nashville's West End.  This was a really great night!  I performed with three extremely talented singer/songwriters and met many cool people,one of whom was the famous singer from the 60s/70s, Melanie! (Brand New Key, Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma, and Ruby Tuesday, to mention a few!) She gave a surprise performance following our show. I had a chance to speak with her after the show and she was so warm and down to earth. 

Interspersed with performances and meetings, I had the opportunity to have two songwriting sessions with some Grammy winning writers.  I left Nashville with two new tunes - a good creative start going into the new year!

Really, the only downside of the week was dealing with the torrential rains for five days. That's always hard on one's "performance hair!"  But honestly, if that's all I have to complain about, I know I'm doing really good!  

At the end of the week I performed at the Ronald McDonald House in Nashville.  The house is a very warm and cozy Victorian style home, and was decorated so beautifully for the holiday season.

I sang for many children and their families, and they were so appreciative to have me there.  There was a deaf mother and her son staying there, and the boy wanted to sit with me while I sang, which was great by me, and his mother signed all the songs while I sang.  They were a very lovely family.  Also while there I spoke with several Mom's whose babies were born with birth defects who were staying at the Ronald McDonald house so they could visit their children at Vanderbilt Hospital.  My thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families.  These were some very brave and remarkable women.

After my work was done for the week, I rewarded myself with a great comfort food meal with friends at Rotier's in Nashville.  This restaurant is an institution, a real hole in the wall, and a perfect comfort food destination.  Yummm to the grilled cheeseburger with all the fixings and hash brown casserole!

I had a great trip and made lots of music, memories and friends.  I wish you and yours all the very best this holiday season and for the New Year.

Thanks, as always, for your support,

Joanna

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!

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.
One of the many bouquets of flowers sent to
my many dressing rooms from my sweet husband!
Thanks for checking in and I'll keep you posted on my plans for the spring!
