Amazing! She is my favorite of all time. Huge fan since the 90’s!! We upgraded to fast passes the night of and it was 💯 worth it. Ended up in 3rd row from center stage. Got amazing pics and videos. Not flashy. Just pure talent that we all can relate to. Would love to see her again!!

Jo Dee Messina: 10/19/23 “My quest to see every 90’s country music artist still on the road at least one time brought me to The Foundry At Judson Mill for a Thursday evening show. It was my first time at the 1,000 person capacity venue and my first time ever seeing the CMA/ACM Grammy nominated Grand Ole Opry member from Framingham Massachusetts LIVE. It was the 42nd date of her 48 city ‘Heads Carolina Tails California 2023 Tour’ which began in February and runs till November. In September 2017 the singer/songwriter revealed she had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer and all tour dates were postponed as she underwent treatments, she successfully recovered from the cancer diagnosis and resumed touring in 2022. With 6 studio albums and 22 singles including a half dozen number ones we were guaranteed an evening of song, nostalgia, and reminiscing. Arriving at the venue in a timely manner, my wife and I waited outside for an hour until the doors opened and were rewarded accordingly with a front row position up against the stage. The evening began with The Dryes a husband and wife vocal duo who appeared on Season 22 of NBC’s The Voice. The couple from North Carolina (married 12 years) brought along two additional band members and played a solid 30 minute / 8 song set featuring a mix of covers and originals from their most recent EP. The artist/audience interaction was playbook perfect and stirred the weeknight full house to life. Katelyn addressed the audience, ‘Man, y’all are a vibe, literally we were backstage and we were like “This crowd is rowdy”, and we are here for it.’ ‘Are there any sassy Southern women here tonight? [cheers] I could feel that in that last song!’ A fact well worth mentioning is that Derek plays all his own guitar work and does a fine job of it. Covers included ‘Boondocks’, ‘9 To 5’, and their audition song for the television program, ‘Islands In The Stream’. Originals included ‘Sawdust’, a song about all the bars they’ve played from two in attendance to a thousand, and the redneck/sacred ‘Raisin Beers & Hallelujahs’. At 9:30 p.m. the lights dimmed as the audience chanted ‘Jo Dee, Joo Deee, JOOO DEEEE!’ and headliner Jo Dee Marie Messina 53 took the stage for a 1 hour and 30 minute / 19 song set beginning with her 2005 number one ‘My Give A Damn’s Busted’. Bringing an accomplished six person band which included a female background singer/tambourine player she moved right into her version of the cover of Jennifer Warnes cover ‘I Know A Heartache When I See One’, a #10 single back in 1998. Addressing the audience, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen “Hi”, y’all got to be hot in here, you’re all squished in.’ She made it clear to us that she had been struggling with a cold. Earlier in the day she had run the ’Swamp Rabbit Trail’ to try and ‘cough the cold out, and so that didn’t work’. ‘If you know the songs, you gotta help me sing em!’ After her number one from 2000 ‘That’s The Way’ Jo Dee paused to read some of the signs audience members held up way in the back, she waited to address each one as they were passed all the way up to the stage. During the middle of her 1998 #1 ‘Im Alright’ written by Phil Vassar she borrowed her sound engineer’s cell phone as she had left her’s behind in the bus and asked if he had Phil’s new phone number in his contacts. Dialing out and getting Phil’s voice mail she led the audience in a round of the chorus leaving it for him recorded on his voice mail. ‘This is Jo Dee Messina we have a message for Phil, if you could pass it along that would be great’. Jo Dee shared some highlights of her faith journey prior to a cover of Zach William’s ‘Freedom’. ‘My world was rocked the day that Jesus walked into my world. I thought I had my act together, I thought that I knew what I was doing… the reality is for me I started to realize that to have my world together is to build around Christ.’ Next up, her band was featured with a penetrating cover of Boston’s instrumental ‘Foreplay’ leading into Kansas’ ‘Carry On Wayward Son.’ She didn’t call out the individual members by name which would have been nice considering each of them more than likely had a professional background based on their talent level. ‘Tell The Truth’ from her unnamed as yet forthcoming new album was next and her bass player, drummer and guitarist took a welcome break off stage. The song’s theme ponders the choice of whether it’s best to answer with the truth or with what you think the answer should be. Coughing between verse and chorus Jo Dee confessed ‘my voice is going little by little’ the audience took no mind as the vocal performance continued strong. A four song set of some of her biggest hits, all number ones or two’s, followed with ‘Heads Carolina Tails California’ (featuring Jo Dee on electric guitar), ‘Bring On The Rain’, ‘Stand Beside Me’ and ‘A Lesson In Leavin’. Next she sat down in front of a small keyboard center stage for a cover of Anne Wilson’s ‘My Jesus’. Hands were raised throughout the room and it wasn’t only for the purpose of holding up cell phones for videos. The final song of the regular set was 1998’s #1 ‘Bye Bye’ after which she left the stage. With another round of audience chants ‘Jo Dee, Joo Deee, JOOO DEEEE’ she returned for an encore of Journey’s ‘Don't Stop Believin' again showcasing the band’s diversity and talent. ‘You might know this one, if you know it sing it really loud so that I don’t have to.’ Even Security up against the stage unfolded their authoritative arms to move along to the number one downloaded song of all time. Notably missing from the set was 1996’s #7 You’re Not In Kansas Anymore’. From moving to Nashville at age 19 and working various temporary jobs, including computer programming and accounting just to make ends meet to where she is today —a woman full of gratitude, Jo Dee has established herself a integral voice of 90’s Country music and beyond!” Review and photo by DAve (Concert #833)

24 minutes was definitely not long enough for Jo Dee Messina!! She was amazing as she always is! I'm so excited for her new music that will be coming out and loved the new song she sang at CMAFest. She definitely gave her all last night even though she was only apparently allotted 18 minutes and extra minutes when Carly Pearce brought her back out to duet w/Carly! There definitely needs to be more stars for rating Jo Dee.
