Free ConcertALEX MILLER

https://alexmillercountry.com/

Alex Miller came to the attention of global audiences during American Idol, Season 19. While still coming to terms with the changes that experience brought to his life, Alex is now embracing the lessons he learned from the show – and its superstar coaches. “One thing I really took away from it all is that I need to keep challenging myself,” the young entertainer reflects. “And I’m just beginning to put that into practice.”

That was just the beginning for Alex, who quickly secured management, signed with Nashville-based Billy Jam Records, and released a well-received debut album, MILLER TIME. The disc displays the broad range of Miller’s traditional musical influences, including Swing, Bluegrass, Country, and Gospel. Two additional popular singles, “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya” and “Through With You” (which took the newcomer to the Top 35 of the Billboard Indicator Chart) helped to expand Miller’s ever-growing profile and fan base.
