Miller’s signature sound
The 18-year-old from Lancaster, KY is known for his old-school country twang, which came through perfectly in his unique rendition of the national anthem. Miller and his guitar got Saturday night’s Kroger Field crowd into a great mood ahead of kickoff.
Miller has made quite an impact on the country music community despite his young age. He was even invited by American Idol judge Luke Bryan to play at the Grand Ole Opry. A date on that performance is currently pending.
His latest single for, “Don’t Let the Barn Door Hit Ya”, will debut November 12th on CMT.
