A London-born country singer – who made headlines after a video of her hearing her song on the radio for the first time went viral – will be joining multi-platinum, award-winning singer-songwriter Johnny Reid on his national tour.

Jessica Mitchell, who first heard her song Workin’ on Whiskey on AM980’s sister station Country 104, has often been described as “country’s Adele” and is set to release her debut album, Heart of Glass, in the spring.
