Jessie Scott, Music Fog partner and radio luminary, was born with a tiny baby finger on the pulse of meaningful music. At the age of four, while her fellow toddlers in Scarsdale, NY were cooing to the cultural appropriation of Pat Boone, she contemplated the deeper meaning of sex with Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti.” Her finger has grown, but it remains firmly affixed to the pulse of American music. 

She’s been a prominent voice for rock, country and Americana music for over 50 years at radio stations all over the country, from WNBC in New York, to XM Satellite Radio. Now, Jessie spends most of her time programming NPR’s first all-music Americana radio station, WMOT, from a bunker in Nashville, TN. 

In her free time, she enjoys eating Turkish pistachio nuts in her bed, going to the chiropractor, and eating, uh...cooking with mushrooms. Her devotion to the music industry is matched only by her profound hatred of sandwiches. Want to get on her bad side? Serve her up a meatball sub with a side of heavy metal Pat Boone.

It is also worth noting that she has more than one finger.
