It was a hot day, July 12, 2024, as fans gathered inside of the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater to see Alex Miller and main act Neal McCoy take the stage for a show they would not forget. Backstage, Alex was in his dressing room preparing for his performance. Fans sat eagerly, others were gathering their concessions and drinks prior to show time. Ten minutes prior to Alex taking the stage, he came out of his dressing room, and socialized with stagehands, along with the one and only Neal McCoy who was doing the same. Alex peaked out to grab a glimpse of the audience. He adjusted his ear piece, and made last minute adjustments to his outfit. Neal approached Alex telling him "good luck out there, you will do great." Alex and Neal posed for a picture together.
Alex was announced to the stage by Devon Lakeshore staff. Alex knew his queue to walk out and stepped out with energy to get the crowd excited! Alex approached his microphone and began playing his guitar, Alex began singing some of his originals such as "Putting Up Hay," and some of his favorite song covers by artists such as Hank Williams and more.
Throughout his performance Alex would stop to speak to the audience providing them with a back story about his music. Alex took time to talk to the crowd about how he ended up opening for Neal McCoy. "Well if I am being honest, I found you on tik tok and thought you would be the perfect fit," Alex stated were Neal's words. Alex took time to acknowledge veterans and introduced his song "Boys In Uniform." He delivered a chilling performance at the Devon Lakeshore. The crowd sat in a still silence listening to the power in Alex's voice as he sang his tribute. The stage lights beamed on Alex, and provided those watching the show with feelings of perspective, and emotion. Alex strummed his guitar for the last note and the audience erupted into synchronized clapping and cheering. Everyone stood to give Alex his well deserved standing ovation. Alex stood behind the microphone in amazement as the crowd continued to cheer for him. "I am gonna be honest with you, I was not expecting this! WOW!" Alex said to the audience. Alex took a moment to observe, and took in the moment. "Before I get emotional," Alex said, "I have some more for you guys." Alex began to pick things back up.
Alex stepped down into the crowd and began dancing and singing with fans. Upon his return to the stage he hyped the audience up for Neal McCoy! Alex performed his last couple of songs before making his exit, he announced that he would be meeting fans at his merch table for pictures, and autographs.
Once again Alex left a crowd in amazement and wanting more with his energy put into his performances, and unmatched vocals. The Devon Lakeshore crowd received a performance that they will not forget on the evening of July 12, 20204.
