Artist
Jo Dee Messina
"I have used Shure products my entire touring career. Their products are high quality and dependable. Believe me, I've put them to the test over the years. Besides the product itself, the folks at Shure have always taken great care of me and my touring organization."
As Jo Dee Messina gears up to release her 6th studio album, Unmistakable, in 2008 she makes sure she has the right gear on the road and in the studio. The Massachusetts-born singer has sold five million albums, had 9 #1 singles, earned two Grammy nominations in addition to awards by the CMA and ACM, and seen her albums go platinum (Burn) and double platinum (I'm Alright). The latter made history, as three consecutive singles reached the #1 spot for multiple weeks on the Billboard singles chart, making her the first female artist ever to earn that distinction.
Consistently in the news for being at the top females of her format, Messina stays busy both touring and in the studio. Hits like "Lesson in Leavin'," "Because You Love Me," "Downtime," "Bring On The Rain," "That's The Way" and "My Give A Damn's Busted" would cement her reputation as one of country's most loved and enduring hit-makers.
