ALEX AND HIS GRANDDADDY

Despite Alex’s busy touring schedule, he and his grandfather still made time for each other. In March the Country singer and GB visited the Country Music Hall of Fame. They also stopped in at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop in Music City.  On June 12 GB was able to see his grandson perform on the Grand Ole Opry stage – a lifelong dream for the two Kentuckians. Miller introduced the world to his granddad during his American Idol audition, which featured clips of the two on GB’s Lancaster, Kentucky farm. Alex’s “Don’t Let The Barn Door Hit Ya” music video, which included most of his immediate family, was filmed there as well.

Following the services for his beloved granddad, Alex will return immediately to the road; his next show is scheduled for Friday, July 8 at the Wild Rose Casino & Resort in Emmetsburg, IA.

“GB put me on stage when I was seven years and old and, as he would want, I’m still planning on honoring all my tour dates,” Alex states.

Upcoming performances include state fairs and major festivals, opening for Brooks & Dunn, Jamey Johnson, Niko Moon and others.  Alex will headline at venues ranging from intimate club settings to casinos. The young Country star’s current single, “Through With You,” is in the Top 40 on the Billboard Indicator Chart, and he’s logged 15 MILLION-plus TikTok views to date.
