Country singer Alex Miller to host benefit concert for regional hospice center

Former “American Idol” contestant and Kentucky Proud Spokesperson, Alex Miller is coming to Oak Grove to put on a show and help raise money for Pennyroyal Hospice this weekend.

Pennyroyal Hospice provides palliative care to residents in Christian, Todd, Trigg, Lyon and Caldwell counties, and Cindy Hancock, the hospice center’s community relations specialist and business development director, appeared on WHOP to share the concert’s details.

Over the years, Hancock says the hospice center has hosted a variety of fundraisers and they decided to host a benefit concert. Then by coincidence she says she connected with Miller who was interested in headlining the show.

Miller is from Lancaster, Kentucky and competed on season 19 of “American Idol.” Miller says he has been singing country music since he was six years old.

Then as a Kentucky Proud spokesperson, Miller spotlights goods being grown and crafted in the commonwealth. Miller says he was honored to be invited to perform and looks forward to putting on a great country music show.

Before Miller performs, Hancock shared that Bill Wence will be the opening act. Wence has worked with singers Bobby Bare, Tom T. Hall, and many others throughout his career, and during his performance, he will be sharing some of those experiences.

Along with enjoying some country music, Hancock says attendees have the chance to win a $500 giveaway as well as some raffle prizes.

The benefit concert kicks off at Valor Hall Event Center in Oak Grove on Saturday at 6 p.m. and tickets are available at pennyroyalhospice.com. The doors open at 5 p.m. and folks are invited to come early to check out antique tractor and farm equipment displays.
