| Joanna Mosca to Perform with Michael Fredo at the Plaza Hotel New York based recording artist Joanna Mosca, who has been taking country airwaves by storm with the title track from her recently released debut album Keep On Going, will join fellow recording artist Michael Fredo for "Jazz and Cocktails" on May 19 at the world renowned Plaza Hotel in New York City. Joanna will join Michael on stage for a special performance of "Where Does Good Love Go, " a duet they recorded for Joanna's album. Admission begins at 8:30 p.m. and the show at 10 p.m. The event is free and open to the public; please email mfojazz@gmail.com to RSVP. Cocktail attire is highly suggested. Joanna recently wrapped-up a tour of country radio stations in support of "Keep On Going" and received rave remarks from the DJ's and Program Directors. Rick Wesley of WKDO in Liberty, Ky., said, "Joanna has great potential and talent. She has a very distinctive voice. I hope to hear more from her in the future, " while Kip Jervis and Cathy Hall of WEZJ in Williamsburg, Ky., thought "Joanna was great! One of our best live interviews ever! She was real down-home and friendly. A very lively gal! Just what our listeners love!" Barry O'Neill of the Voice Of Country in Nashville, Tenn., stated, "Joanna has a powerful and sassy voice that carries the subject matter of her songs well. I think she would be well suited among the artists performing in Europe and the UK." 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 (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). write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
