Newcomer JOANNA MOSCA Releases New EP, Let It All Begin, Produced By Award-Winning Artist Bryan White , Features Duet with Lonestar's Richie McDonald


Nashville, TN (February 27, 2013) - Joanna Mosca, selected as one of CMA's 2012 Who's New To Watch, is excited to release her new dynamic EP, LET IT ALL BEGIN, which was produced by award-winning singer-songwriter Bryan White.

The six-track outing offers a fresh sound to Country radio and its audience, presenting Mosca's immediately identifiable voice on relevant, well-written songs that should appeal across the Country demographic. The EP, which includes a memorable duet with Lonestar's Richie McDonald, kicks off with her current single/video, "Dream On Savannah."

"Dream On Savannah" is resonating at radio and the video can be seen on The Country Network (TCN), CMT.com, GACtv.com and Yallwire.com. The up-tempo song pulled on Mosca's heartstrings the minute she heard it. This deceptively sing-along number contains two serious, yet positive core messages: preventing 'bullying' among our youth and the importance of staying true to your dreams. It perfectly reflects Joanna's innate compassion and her grasp for the need of global social responsibility.

TRACK LISTING:
"Dream On Savannah" (T. Verges, H. Lindsey, M. Green)
"Would You Still Be Here" (J. Spillman)
"Keep On Driving" (T. Verges, H. Lindsey, M. Green)
"I Guess That Says it All" (B. White, T. Thibodaux, S. Williams)
"Let It All Begin" (T. Murphy, D. Grissom)
"Where Does Good Love Go" (T. Hancheroff, J. Ritchey, B. Lawson)


"She's a total pro to work with and definitely has the goods," says Bryan White, Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter. Mosca is a 2013 Featured Artist on CMT.com and Renegade Radio Nashville - proving that she is indeed ready to LET IT ALL BEGIN.

The EP as a whole marks a definitive musical change for Mosca. She and White looked outside the box for contemporary songs and the production is crisp, vibrant and clean. "It has a much purer sound than my previous outings," Joanna notes. "Bryan has a great ear and a wonderful singer's sense. It was an amazing experience for me."

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF COUNTRY MUSIC RETURNS TO LONDON AFTER OVER 20 YEARS!




REBA McENTIRE
RICKY SKAGGS, LONESTAR,
LITTLE BIG TOWN & MANY MORE...

WEMBLEY ARENA, SUNDAY FEBRUARY 26TH 2012
Tickets on sale October 10th
Nashville,TN (October 6, 2011) -After a 20-year break, the pioneering and much loved International Festival of Country Music returns to Wembley Arena on Sunday, February 26th, 2012. The stellar line-up features the very best in country, roots and bluegrass music.

In a rare UK appearance, international country superstar Reba McEntire will headline the all day festival. With a career that spans over five decades and includes two Grammy Awards, 55 million worldwide album sales and 63 U.S. top ten hits, Reba is one of the biggest selling female artists of all time. Having last performed in the UK 12 years ago, the Wembley appearance will give British fans a rare opportunity to enjoy a true legend, live on the London stage.

Reba will be joined by fourteen-time Grammy Award winner Ricky Skaggs, a country trailblazer who struck his first chords on a mandolin over 52 years ago. Ricky, who has collaborated with numerous artists including Bruce Hornsby, Emmylou Harris and Jack White, will be bringing his own inimitable take on bluegrass and roots music to the festival.

Feted country music band Lonestar, who first made their debut on the Billboard country music charts in 1995, are also featured on the bill. Lonestar have gained international respect and acclaim with ten number one singles on the U.S. country charts alone. British fans will instantly recognize their song 'Amazed' which spent eight weeks at number 1 on the Billboard chart.

Joining the headliners will be critically acclaimed quartet Little Big Town, who are also making their international debut at this event. As a band renowned for breaking new musical ground, Little Big Town have sold over 1.5 million records and garnered four Grammy nominations over the past twelve years.

In addition to the four headliners, the festival will host an impressive array of supporting acts including; country and rockabilly legend, Narvel Felts, the "King of Cajun" Jo-El Sonnier and Texas-born George Ducas. The full line-up also features George Hamilton IV, Will Banister, Raymond Froggatt and John McNicholl, with more acts to be announced shortly.

The International Festival of Country Music ran for 23 years from 1969 to 1991 at Wembley Arena. The shows, promoted by the legendary Mervyn Conn, were the first to introduce country music to the British public and featured a host of (now) legendary artists including; Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Jerry Lee Lewis, Crystal Gayle and many more.

International Festival of Country Music founder and CEO of MM Events Ltd., Mervyn Conn said: "I'm bringing the International Festival of Country Music back after over twenty years due to popular demand. The regard for Country Music has grown significantly in the UK since the first year I promoted this event and I believe that now is the time to reintroduce this once hugely popular event to converted fans of country music and to a new and emerging group of country music lovers. I have also brought back Trisha Walker-(Cunningham) who worked with me for 10 years in the early days and is my Company President in the USA."

Reba McEntire comments; "My band, crew and I are really looking forward to going back to Europe to play our music. The last time we performed there was in 1999! We have been very busy for the last 10 years doing the REBA TV show and concerts in North America. Now, we are so excited to be able to travel abroad and do both our new and old songs for our European audience, who has always been so good to us."

After the Wembley date, the festival will travel to Belfast, Zurich and Germany.
