7 MAG 2026 · Scott Stevens caught up with country icon Jo Dee Messina ahead of her upcoming performance at Dr Pepper Park on May 30th, and the conversation is packed with nostalgia, real-life perspective, and a preview of what fans can expect when she hits the stage. Messina, a defining voice of the ‘90s country boom, reflects on the era that launched her into stardom—with nine No. 1 hits and fan favorites like “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” “Bye Bye,” and “I’m Alright.” During the interview, she shared what made those songs connect so deeply with audiences—and why they still bring the same energy to her live shows today. One of the highlights of the conversation? The continued life of “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” Messina talked about how surreal it is to see a new generation of fans—and even today’s artists—embrace her music decades later. It’s a full-circle moment that proves great songs truly never fade. Scott also dives into her highly anticipated new album, Bridges (out June 5th)—a project shaped by more than a decade of life experiences. Messina opens up about the personal journey behind the music, including overcoming challenges, leaning on her faith, and channeling those moments into some of her most meaningful work yet. Beyond the music, the conversation takes a more personal turn as she shares how motherhood has reshaped her priorities, both on the road and in the studio, and offers heartfelt advice to young female artists chasing their own dreams in country music. And if you’re wondering what kind of show she’s bringing to Roanoke? Let’s just say—the energy is still very much there. 🎶 Don’t Miss Jo Dee Messina Live Jo Dee Messina performs May 30th at Dr Pepper Park in Roanoke, and if this interview is any indication, fans are in for a night full of hits, heart, and high-energy moments. 🎟️ Tickets are available now at DrPepperPark.com 👉 Listen to the full interview/podcast now to hear Scott Stevens’ complete conversation with Jo Dee Messina—only on Backstage with Scott Stevens.

I got the chance to catch up with country superstar Jake Owen, who is headed back to Virginia, bringing his Dreams to Dream Tour to the historic Paramount Theater in Charlottesville on Friday, February 27 at 7:30 PM. With a career built on sunshine melodies, heartfelt storytelling, and a charisma that’s equal parts beach‑breeze easy and arena‑ready electric, Owen’s upcoming stop promises to be one of the most anticipated country shows of 2026.Owen’s résumé reads like the soundtrack of the past decade and a half of country radio: 10 No. 1 singles, multiple gold and platinum hits, and more than 2.5 billion on‑demand streams. Songs like “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Beachin’,” “Anywhere With You,” “Alone With You,” and “The One That Got Away” have cemented him as a mainstay—an artist who brings people together in that signature Jake Owen way: laid‑back, high‑energy, and full of heart.But what makes this tour special—something Owen opened up about in our conversation—is that it’s not just a collection of hits. It’s a reflection of where he is right now: as an artist, a businessman, a philanthropist, and a dad.

On December 15th, area Girl Scouts will participate by selecting an Angel and purchasing the items on their list.
