Curb artist Jo Dee Messina’s inaugural MUSIC ROW ROAD RACE 5K and concert at Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon helped raise $100,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Over 800 runners participated in the event, which was held Saturday (5/16) in Music City.

Jo Dee packed 'em in at the Wildhorse, where she performed an acoustic show for two hours without a set list, taking requests and answering questions from the audience. She'll return to Nashville on June 13th for the 2009 CMA Music Festival, where she'll perform at the Riverfront Stage. Her fan club party will be held the following day (6/14).
