Rising country star Alex Miller will play the Great New York State Fair’s Chevy Court stage Thursday, September 1 at 1 p.m., building on the success of his debut appearance last year. The Kentucky teenager who caught the ear of superstar Luke Bryan on American Idol with his throwback take on country music is touring behind his debut album.
State Fair interim Director Sean Hennessey said, “We love bringing rising talents to the Fair and the audience reaction to him last year showed us that he should be here to kick off our final weekend of free concerts. I can’t wait to hear his new songs.”
