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."

ABOUT JOANNA
Joanna's career began with the release of three consecutive Top Ten FMQB AC Radio Chart singles between 2006 and 2008. In 2010 she released her first full-length album, JOANNA MOSCA, which contained six original tunes. The album's first single "Keep On Going" shot onto the Billboard Top 30 AC Chart and earned her a spot on Music Connection magazine's Top 100 Independent recording artists list. Mosca was born in Connecticut but currently resides in New York where she studied acting at the prestigious HB Studio in NYC with teachers who included Uta Hagen and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Mosca has starred in a series of three one-woman shows in New York City that reviewers praised.

Mercy's Well Weekend Schedule

From Mercy's Well email newsletter of February 28, 2013:


As we bid farewell to the month of February, we pray each one of you had a great month and were able to grow in your personal relationship with the Lord. With Spring only three weeks away, the warmer weather should be rolling in soon - a very welcome sight for some of you, I'm sure! We are battling some sickness even now, trying to stay healthy enough to present our message in song each week. By God's grace and sustaining power (and some effective medicine) we have made it through. We are looking forward to our upcoming dates as we begin another new month in ministry!

We closed the month of February with a visit to Wedgefield Baptist Church in Wedgefield, SC. Pastor Paul and his congregation were so welcoming. It had been almost two years since out last visit, so we enjoyed the time of catching up and fellowship that took place after the service.

Our new radio single, "Beautiful, Terrible Cross" is getting great response across the country so far! Thanks to all of the DJs for playing it and you listeners for requesting it. Haven't heard the song yet? Visit our Facebook page and you'll see it posted on our wall. Click the link and give it a listen!

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

Top Christian Singer Kari Jobe Joins With Exciting Film 'Not Today' to Fight Human Trafficking

"Not Today' Launches in Theaters Nationwide April 12

"Not today is definitely a movie that you have to see." Kari Jobe

NotTodaytheMovie.com

YORBA LINDA, Calif. – Feb. 27, 2013 – Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning Christian recording artist Kari Jobe—along with an impressive list of global partners—is lending her support to the exciting new film NOT TODAY in the fight against human trafficking.

Gripping, entertaining and ultimately redemptive, NOT TODAY helps audiences put a human face on the worldwide problem of modern slavery and exploitation.

“We all have to play a role and do our part to fight against the plague that affects 27 million people and growing,” Jobe said. “It’s so incredibly dark, and I feel a responsibility to do what I can. Most of these victims are girls like me, and I can’t imagine what life would be like in that place.”

Produced by Friends Media, NOT TODAY features rising star Cody Longo (Hollywood Heights, Fame, Make It or Break It) as Caden, a spoiled SoCal rich kid partying in India. On mean city streets, he’s oblivious to the so-called “untouchables” until a young girl sold into slavery draws him into the world of India’s outcast Dalits. In the struggle to find her, Caden finds himself and his faith re-energized. Also featured in NOT TODAY: John Schneider (OCTOBER BABY, Smallville, The Dukes of Hazzard), Shari Rigby (OCTOBER BABY, The Bold and the Beautiful) and Cassie Scerbo (Make It or Break It, Hot in Cleveland).

With a 2013 Grammy nomination for her hit CD Where I Find You, Jobe recently recorded the song What Love Can Do, produced by multiple Dove Award winner and Grammy nominee Ed Cash. The song and accompanying video offer Jobe’s personal support for NOT TODAY. No newcomer to the fight against human trafficking, Jobe is performing now with Chris Tomlin’s Burning Light’s Tour, which also features Louie Giglio, whose 2013 Passion conference focused on the subject as well.

SEE AND HEAR KARI JOBE SING ‘WHAT LOVE CAN DO’

Along with Jobe, an impressive array of ministry partners have pledged to promote the film.

"Our Christian faith compels us to lift our hands up with conviction and stretch our hands across with compassion,” said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference Hispanic Evangelical Association. “NOT TODAY moves us to reconcile sanctification with service, faith with action and righteousness with justice. Whether it's creating a firewall against a caste system that does not recognize the image of God in every human being or lifting a clarion call against human trafficking, NOT TODAY is more than a movie. NOT TODAY stands as a clarion call to do justice in the name of Jesus."

Global partners like NHCLC advance the film’s important message through their worldwide networks of supporters. Additional NOT TODAY partners include:

Dalit Freedom Network
Operation Mobilization India
Operation Mobilization USA
International Justice Mission
IMB (International Mission Board)
Focus On The Family
Salvation Army Vision Network
YWAM (Youth With A Mission International)
NOT TODAY production company Friends Media is a ministry arm of Friends Church of Yorba Linda, Calif. Using education to lift Dalit lives and prospects, Friends Church has committed $20 million to build 200 of 1,000 proposed schools for Dalit children in the coming decade. Friends already has funded more than 40 of the current 107 schools. Profits from NOT TODAY go toward building schools and freeing children.

NOT TODAY premieres across the nation April 12 in these markets:

Los Angeles (Orange County), Calif.
Houston, Texas
