Jo Dee Messina will soon hit the road on the Heads Carolina, Tails California Tour.
The 45-plus date tour will be taking Messina all across the U.S. with stops in major markets. The trek kicked off with sold-out shows in North Carolina and South Carolina over the weekend and will continue through November where it’s set to wrap up in Indigo, California.
The tour is all an ode to Messina’s 1996 debut single, “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” This is the first time Messina has toured under her iconic hit’s name and she is furthering the nostalgic theme by embedding retro artwork from her original cover art for the tour’s promotion and limited-edition merchandise.

Additionally, Messina announced that a new record, Heads Carolina, Tails California: The Best of Jo Dee Messina will be released in March via Curb Records.
