Jenny Inzerillo
Music Director | Host, High Plains MorningJenny 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.
Jenny also coordinates HPPR's Living Room Concerts, a showcase of original, live music in Amarillo, Garden City, and other venues throughout our listener area. Currently, the series hosts about 20 shows per year, all of which are donation-only and open to the public.
When she's not on the air, hosting a show, or promoting HPPR, you can find Jenny researching music, volunteering, writing copy, covering a festival, combing Craigslist for vintage furniture, reading, painting badly, teaching her cats manners, watching music documentaries, bothering her friends for new music recommendations, and riding her bike to Palo Duro Canyon.
To submit music, book an in-studio live performance, or inquire about HPPR's Living Room Concert Series, contact Jenny at music@hppr.org.
