WATCH: Alex Miller's National Anthem at Kroger Field

Kentucky native and American Idol alum Alex Miller was on hand Saturday night to sing the National Anthem prior to the Tennessee game. For those of you unfamiliar, he was a contestant on Season 19 of American Idol, finishing in the Top 64.

Despite his elimination from the show, Miller has won the hearts of country music fans around Kentucky and the country at large. Now, he’s back to singing in the Bluegrass State.

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.
