This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!

Zane Miller arrived in Bisbee from Las Cruces, New Mexico. “The first time he came to visit, I knew I was going to move here,” he said. He’s found a niche here doing construction as well as sound and lighting for bands. He’s also a talented guitar player, soloing with various bands/groups including Amelia Doll and Alex Wilkerson. He recently formed his own group called Wooden Eye (a play on “wouldn’t I?”) where he sings and plays his own music. His favorite thing about Bisbee? “The people.” Tell him you saw him in TWIB!
