Seattle's Miller Campbell has boldly declared her intent to claim a prominent place in the canon of western music. Born into a musical family (Miller is Glen Campbell's cousin), she grew up a classically trained musician steeped in musical theater and started singing at open mic nights while in college.

“At this point I didn't even know my history with Glen and that side of the family. I was drawn to country music as the songwriting style was so similar to musical theater,” she said.

With a fake I.D. and big dreams, Campbell immersed herself in the Seattle music scene. At nineteen she formed a band called Twisted Dixie. They played huge venues, casinos, rodeos and were soon selling out in their home town. While writing their first LP Campbell learned that she had a fatal condition that demanded immediate double jaw surgery.

Campbell was put on a liquid diet and wasn’t allowed to speak for eighteen months. Unsure if she’d ever be able to sing again, she focused on songwriting and her classes, graduating the University of Washington with two degrees and honors at 21.
