Jo Dee Messina Launches ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California’ Tour

February 16, 2023/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Jo Dee Messina is hitting the road tomorrow (Feb. 17) on her new “Heads Carolina, Tails California Tour.”

The nationwide tour kicks off in Greensboro, North Carolina and will visit 45+ markets through November with stops in Green Bay, Raleigh, Chicago, Atlantic City, Charlotte, and more. The cross-country trek is an ode to Messina’s debut 1996 platinum smash, “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” and in tribute to the nostalgic theme, she is using retro artwork from her original photo shoot for tour ads and limited-edition merchandise.

“It seems crazy that we’ve never toured under the ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California’ banner before. We are so excited to bring people songs that they know, stories we will share and, yes, new music!” shares Messina.

Messina also recently announced that her new album, Heads Carolina, Tails California: The Best of Jo Dee Messina, will be released March 10 on Curb Records. The album features 11 of her timeless hits, including “Bye, Bye,” “I’m Alright,” “Lesson In Leavin,’” ”Heads Carolina, Tails California,” and more, and marks Messina’s first-ever vinyl release.
