CONTINUES HER SUCCESS IN COUNTRY RADIO

WITH HER BUZZING FMQB HIT ‘KEEP ON GOING’

The Emerging Country Songstress Is Back On The Road
For Her Ongoing Radio Tour Starting March 15
Making Stops In Tennessee, Kentucky And Virginia

After Joanna Mosca’s recent explosion onto the indie-pop and adult contemporary scene, the New York based singer-songwriter is taking country radio airwaves by storm with her new single “Keep On Going.” The inspirational, anthem-like hit, which is also the title track to her debut album, peaked at #6 on FMQB’s AC40 chart.

To coincide with her country debut, Joanna will journey down South to Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia for round three of her ongoing radio tour for multiple live on-air performances and radio interviews with top DJs.

This third leg of the tour follows two previous successful week-long stints earlier this year, which took her through cities in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Missouri and Arkansas. Fans can now follow Joanna’s tour on her new blog (joannamosca.blogspot.com) and view a video montage from her first run of the radio tour.

Joanna’s infectious voice– and instantly likable personality that makes a person feel like they’ve known her for years– not only captured fans, but interviewers as well.

Tim Shambley of WCRL in Oneonta, AL commented, “I was really, really pleased with Joanna’s visit … Her single jumps out at you because, first, you can understand the words! But it’s also a meaningful, sincere song with purpose and a great message.”

Kenny Dean of WAXC’s Barnyard Jamboree in Alexander City, AL, praised Joanna after his interview with the country-pop diva in February saying, “Such a pleasure! Joanna’s attitude and her laugh reminded me of Jo Dee Messina but she certainly has her own style- and sings with such soul!”

Produced by Jay Levine (who helmed nine of the album’s ten tracks), the autobiographical song “Keep On Going” serves as a mantra for her life even as it inspires people to think beyond their circumstances during these difficult times.  

Joanna, who was honored by Music Connection magazine as one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Artists of 2009, collaborated on two songs with Jeremy Spillman, who has penned tracks for country superstars Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood and Josh Turner, and earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing “I Will Never Let You Go” with Gustavo Santaolalla for the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. Keep On Going also includes “Learn To Swim,” a track written by Troy Verges (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood).
