Exclusive Premiere: Alex Miller ‘Ain’t Ever Saying Never’

We premiere a song & interview with Miller

Young country traditionalist Alex Miller’s upcoming EP, My Daddy’s Dad, is set for April 12th release. 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 dedicated to GB Miller, Alex’s late grandfather, who passed away in 2022.

“Two of my favorite writers I get to work with are Billy Whyte and Josh Shilling. Josh came in with this idea and me and Billy nearly fell to the floor. When we recorded it seemed like it had all the magic dust in it. It tells the story of someone who let love slip through their hands, found new love, and is not making that same mistake again. How many people are married now because of circumstances like that?” Miller shares.

We have the premiere of “Ain’t Ever Saying Never” which reflects on missed chances at love in a punchy, groove-oriented track that posits that people can change.

After finding national fame as a competitor on American Idol season 19, life changed for this Kentucky-born singer/songwriter. His career began at seven with shows in and around his hometown of Lancaster before moving on to larger venues, including the Dolby Theatre, Lucas Oil Stadium, Renfro Valley, and more. Since departing Idol, Miller has performed at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, the Bluebird Café, multiple State Fairs, and at additional venues nationally. He has headlined his shows and opened for Brooks & Dunn, Hank Jr., Chris Janson, Jamey Johnson, Josh Turner, Lee Brice, Aaron Watson, Dillon Carmichael, King Calaway, Noah Thompson, Drake Milligan, and more.

We also had a chance to chat with Miller at this year’s Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville where he discussed the EP.
