First Responders Jammin' Wedge: BardoBill y Los Muchachas LIVE at Fire Slice Pizzeria TONIGHT

High Plains Public Radio | By Jenny Inzerillo

Published September 11, 2019 at 6:27 PM CDT

It was great to start High Plains Morning on 9/11 with a couple of first responders. Firefighters Dexter Cearley (of the Panhandle Primate podcast) and Brandon McCullough stopped by to play us a few tunes, along with a very well-behaved three-year-old. (Emmett, you entertained yourself like a real trooper.) These two, along with bandmate Chris Riley, make up the Amarillo folk rock outfit BardoBill y Los Muchachas -- and they're playing Fire Slice Pizzaria (7306 SW 34th Ave., Amarillo) tonight at 7pm.

Hear the full interview, as well as their live, in-studio performance on the link below.

Renewed questions in the state's emergency response communication may sound familiar to West Texans

Severe weather has gripped Texas this year — from tornadoes tearing through the South Plains to wildfires in the Panhandle and, most recently, deadly floods in the Hill Country. In Lubbock, where the city's outdoor siren system was activated for the first time earlier this summer, emergency officials emphasize that layered alerts and personal preparedness remain essential to staying safe.
