Jo Dee Messina

Most albums reflect a season. Jo Dee Messina’s new album, Bridges, is ten years’ worth of seasons rolled up into one. The love, the life, the pain, the fight, the learning — and the living through it all.

“It's not about a full transformation,” Messina says. “It’s about what I've gone through and how I’ve gotten through it all. But I’m not done living yet. There’s still a lot more to learn.”

And that’s where we find Messina now — at the start of a new chapter. At a turning point, but firmly moving forward. And what a path it’s been so far. The road behind her is littered with accolades: nine number-one hits, sixteen Top 40 songs, and awards and nominations from the ACM, CMA, AMA, Billboard, and the Grammys. A true icon, Messina has become a North Star in the music world, carving a path for artists and inspiring the younger generation. See Lainey Wilson’s recent CMA shoutout, Cole Swindell’s ode to “Heads Carolina, Tails California," plus Sierra Ferrell and Nikki Lane’s cover of “Lesson in Leavin’.” She’s not just a country legend — her influence spreads across multiple generations and genres.

Over the past decade, though, Messina — like all of us — has encountered road bumps both minor and heartbreaking: loss, struggle, and sicknesses that might have wrecked someone without glimmers of light to hold onto. Her music. Her children. Her faith. And all of it is woven throughout Bridges, coming June 5, 2026.
