Jo Dee Sets Christmas Benefit Show

Jo Dee Messina will perform a special holiday concert Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Brentwood United Methodist Church in Nashville.

Proceeds from the show, which will also feature the Church's youth choir, will go to Harvest Hands Community Development Corporation, a non-profit, Nashville-based organization. Tickets to the show will be distributed in advance for free on Jo Dee's website, jodeemessina.com/tickets, at the Church and at Harvest Hands in downtown Nashville, with fans being asked to make a donation at the event. "Harvest Hands is truly an amazing organization,” says Jo Dee. “It is currently taking the inner city of Nashville and is changing it one life at a time with educating, kindness and love. To go down and actually see how they are making a difference has touched me." Jo Dee will perform selections from her 2002 Christmas album, A Joyful Noise, holiday favorites and songs from her new album.
