Country star finds balance in life, music

Since arriving on the music scene in 1996, country singer-songwriter Jo Dee Messina has sold more than 5 million records, generating a string of hits like “Heads Carolina, Tails California,” “I’m Alright” and “Stand Beside Me.”

These days, Messina is juggling making music with being a mother. 

Messina will perform Dec. 7 at the Congress Theater, 2135 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago.
