ALEX MILLER 
When Alex hits the stage he owns the spotlight – and the hearts of those in the crowd. He can be a wild man onstage with his high-energy performances - ala early Garth Brooks - or he can bring nuance and deep emotion to a tender ballad. This 22-year-old 6’ 6” entertainer from rural Lancaster, Kentucky is a natural fan favorite whose American Idol Season 19 run brought him fame and changed his life in 2021.
Alex’s well-received debut album for Billy Jam Records, MILLER TIME, released in 2022, generated three high-impact singles (“Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya,” “Through With You,” “I’m Over You, So Get Over Me”). His second release for the label, COUNTRY (2023), brought more hits: “When God Made The South,” “Girl, I Know A Guy,” and the smash single, “Puttin’ Up Hay,” which spent three weeks at #1 on the CDX True Indie Chart and graced the Top 50 on the Mediabase Activator Chart. 
He’s toured the State and County Fair circuit heavily (KY, MO, NY, WA, WI, IL, IN, OK, WV), and opened for Brooks & Dunn, Hank, Jr, Josh Turner, Lee Brice, Jamey Johnson, Chris Janson, Ian Munsick, Justin Moore, Alabama, Chapel Hart, Drake Milligan, Noah Thompson, Dillon Carmichael, HunterGirl, Emily Ann Roberts, Neal McCoy, and Tracy Byrd. Alex has also made sure to carve out time for his songwriting, and he has collaborated with hitmakers Kent Blazy, Larry Cordle, Belle Frantz, Byron Hill, Carl Jackson, Kirsti Manna, Wood Newton, Emily Ann Roberts, Jerry Salley, Josh Shilling, Bill Whyte and Brennen Leigh. 
Closing out a spectacular 2023, he received the American FFA Degree for Excellence, the organization’s highest accolade. Miller’s current five-song EP, MY DADDY’S DAD (Billy Jam Records), produced by Jerry Salley, was released in 2024. 
The EP’s title track was a hit at Country radio, as was "She Makes Dirt Look Good." Alex moved to Nashville last May and made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry in June of ’24. His honkin’ tonkin’ single, “The Byrd,” features Country icon Tracy Byrd, and its companion music video premiered in May on the CMT Music Channel. Alex’s “Secondhand Smoke” was released to Country radio in September. He performed at the Country Music Hall of Fame in mid-October.

From Rowdy To Romantic, Alex Miller Makes His Mark On His New EP


MY DADDY’S DAD has dropped (April 12 Release)

Dedicated To Alex’s Late Grandfather


 

Nashville, TN (2024) – Young Country traditionalist Alex Miller’s EP, MY DADDY’S DAD, is now available.

 

Produced by Jerry Salley for Billy Jam Records, the five-song collection runs the gamut from rowdy to romantic. This is the pair’s third outing together and is notable for its musical reach and the companionable sense the two bring to the studio. The EP is now available to STREAM, is dedicated to GB Miller, Alex’s late grandfather, who passed away in 2022.

 

MY DADDY’S DAD opens with the Chesney-esque “She Makes Dirt Look Good” – a fun nod to all the 4-H and FFAers with a play on words that is bound to surprise. Fiddle and steel offer a counterpoint and keep this hooky up-tempo moving apace. “Oh, Odessa” follows, painting a picture of the classic “Western” era as it tells the story of a dust devil angel leaving home and sweetheart behind. Miller’s longing-filled tenor is the highlight of this slow dance tune. “The Last House In God’s Country,” is based on Miller’s grandparents’ farm – where he was raised on 800 heaven-sent acres of fields and fence lines. A solid mid-tempo, Miller’s love for his family and farm are obvious here. “Ain’t Ever Saying Never” reflects on missed chances at love in a punchy, groove-oriented track that posits that people can change.

The EP closes with “My Daddy’s Dad” a tune written by Alex in tribute to his late Grandpa GB Miller. “He meant so much to me,” Alex notes. “As Grandma Nana says, ‘it’s not a song about him it’s just him in a song.’ He inspired me to pursue Country music as my career,” Miller recalls. “He’d have this record blaring from his tractor’s stereo – I hope it finds its way to yours.”

 

The project features Nashville’s finest musicians: Jenee Fleenor (Fiddle), Gary Primm (Keyboards), Mike Johnson (Steel Guitar), Kerry Marx (Acoustic Guitar / tracks 1, 2, 3), Joel Key (Acoustic Guitar / tracks 4, 5), James Mitchell (Electric Guitar), Steve Brewster (Drums) and Kevin Grantt (Bass).
