Although Messina has continued to build an impressive country music career, including multiple No. 1 hits, awards and accolades, she’s seizing the opportunity to celebrate the song that started it all in a brand new way.
“It seems crazy that we’ve never toured under the ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California’ banner before,” Messina says. “We are so excited to bring people songs that they know, stories we will share and, yes, new music!”
Along with a chance to hear a teaser of what’s next from Messina, concertgoers can snag limited edition merchandise featuring images from the single’s original photo shoot.
On March 10, Messina will also mark another career milestone with Heads Carolina, Tails California: The Best of Jo Dee Messina, her first release on vinyl. The limited-edition, 180-gram clear vinyl with blue and orange flecks will be released via Curb Records and includes many of her biggest career hits, including “I’m Alright,” “Bring on the Rain” and “Because You Love Me.”
