Seattle songwriter Debbie Miller made her first trip to Alaska and was a part of the February Parlor in the Round. Her music is like a book of short stories. You might find yourself laughing, then crying, then laughing again - sometimes all in the same song. Miller's latest EP is titled "Heron" and was released in 2023. She also has a brand new single, "Grand Canyon". KNBA Afternoon drivetime host Loren Dixon spoke with Debbie about her connection to Alaska and the trajectory of getting here, her songwriting approach, and the challenges of playing The Parlor in the Round.
