Jenny Inzerillo joined HPPR in 2015 as the host of High Plains Morning, our live music program that airs weekdays at 9 am to noon CST. Broadcasting from KJJP in beautiful downtown Amarillo, she helps listeners wake up with inspired music from our region and beyond. Tune in for new voices in folk/Americana, deep cuts from your favorite artists, soulful tracks from singer/songwriters across the world, and toe-tapping classics dating as far back as the 1920s. Plus, discover underground greats that just might be your new favorite band.
Tracking down the origins of an artist isn't always easy, but Avery Hellman (ISMAY) did just that in their new podcast — and soon-to-be released documentary film — Finding Lucinda. The project researches the origins of Lucinda Williams as an emerging singer-songwriter. While the film is due for release this September, the companion podcast is out now (through the BGS Podcast Network). So we talked to ISMAY about their musical idol, their dual life as a farmer/artist, and what this odyssey revealed about their own journey as a songwriter.
Straight outta HAYS, KS, we are thrilled to present a handfull of shows across the High Plains (and thereabouts) featuring one of our favorite bluegrass bands, 80 Proof Alice! Promoting their new album, From Nowhere, they'll be in Garden City to kick off the launch! Spread the word.
We're stoked to have soulful singer-songwriter BreAnne Stone hitting the road for shows across the High Plains! Hailing from Hastings, Nebraska, this High Plains hero will delight HPPR fans. Check out the full schedule for a show near you, and spread the word!
Taking a morning pause from his band's bonkers tour schedule, folksinger Willie Watson shared some time with HPPR to talk about his self-titled new album, Willie Watson, as well as life on the road performing original music...for the first time in a LONG time.
Don't miss this year's LIPS event at AJ Swope Performance Plaza at Arts in the Sunset, featuring Silverada (formerly Mike & the Moonpies), the "working man's country band."
