LAS VEGAS, Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Joanna Mosca's personal style, grace and voice will charm Cleveland with her special brand of private reflection and mischief. Mosca grabbed the best of Country and Singer/Songwriter traditions, then threw in catchy Pop melodies to create her sound. Her highly praised debut CD, "Keep On Going," is an Indie Music breakthrough, making waves on radio and media charts. Joanna Mosca opens for Martin Sexton, famous for his extraordinary vocal range and raw emotion at the Beachland Ballroom on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 8:30 P.M.

Joanna Mosca is taking the music industry by storm where sound-alike, pre-packaged trendy performers grab top billing. Mosca reformed the singer/songwriter model in favor of staying power and lasting appeal. Starting with three highly successful one-woman shows in Manhattan's Theater District, Joanna proved her instincts right by going rogue and writing music that didn't follow theater tradition. To her credit, Joanna won over audiences despite advice to the contrary. The risk-taker in Joanna launched her own Music Label, Dolce Diva Music, and released three consecutive Top Ten singles on the FMQB AC Radio Charts. The title cut of her first full length CD, "Keep On Going" jumped into the Billboard Top 30 AC National Chart.

Joanna is sharing the stage as the opening act for Martin Sexton. Mosca wholeheartedly agrees with John Mayer when he said Sexton is "the best live performer I've ever seen." Joanna Mosca's charismatic stage presence and spirited, optimism entertains concertgoers with her honest, soul-bearing singing voice and lyrics.

Joanna Mosca's music bakes raw emotion into each performance, building a story that grabs hearts and minds with Country/Pop melodies that stick. The title-track single from her debut CD, "Keep On Going," is part anthem, part reflection, and part declaration of doing things your own way. Joanna's music represents the voice that lives in all of us, the voice that urges, "Never give up your dream." Most recently, Joanna's latest single, "Like I'm Leaving" played on well over 100 radio stations, in the US, Europe, Scandinavia and South America.
