On Air

Annette Miller

Monday - Friday 10:00am - 2:00pm

I’ve had a mic in my hand since I was 5. Mom says I came out of the womb speaking full sentences, so I think I made the right career choice! I’m a commissioned painter and a working musician, but I can’t jump rope or crack an egg.

LOVES: anything purple, fast cars, old trucks, reclaimed lumber, and Marty Stuart songs

AVERSIONS: spiders, bleu cheese, and splinters
