A listener of KVMR since 1984, Jerianne became a broadcaster in 1998. She landed a spot in late night Blues, and in those three years helped launch the Sunday afternoon blues program Bluespectrum. A great longing to play more than blues brought her to different daytime shows and now Friday mornings 7-10 am. Listen in for an extreme variety that includes lounge, jazz, blues, folk, lounge, world, "fun stuff," and an enlightening encounter when the Swami Beyondananda checks in every other week with strange twists of his weird wisdom and insights. On occasion there are spotlights on specific artists sometimes with a live in-studio performance as artists drop by to play otherwise she does her best to keep you up on what's happening in music.

When Jerianne is not at the station she is a freelance illustrator as well as a fine artist with her own studio/gallery in Grass Valley. Musically influenced by the usual stuff kids in Southern California grow up on in the 60-70's……I took a turn somewhere in this journey and found a world beyond the usual top 40…in fact a universe of fantastic rich music! I have an extremely wide range of music to play in this life, so I can't say what any given show may have on it. As a child she ate spam, space food,Tang and played an accordion and feels that fact alone (a kid playing accordion can be a lonely experience!!!) has had a mysterious and strange impact on her range of musical interest and odd taste (lets use the word "taste" loosely) for lounge, dramatic sounds, and sometimes even the drive of a hot polka!!!! Listeners beware!!!!
