Miller makes Opry debut

With his 1944 Martin D-18 in hand, Miller, 21, performed "Puttin' Up Hay" and his latest single release, "My Daddy's Dad."

"I think everyone who plays country music dreams of playin' the Opry," Miller said. "For me, it's been something my whole family hoped would come true one day. I wish my grandpa had lived long enough to see me step into that circle, 'cause I think I was floating in the air. It was a heck of a feeling. I know I'll never forget it."

Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry fame, made a trip to Miller's home in rural Lancaster, Ky. to invite Miller to help celebrate Montgomery's 15-year anniversary as an Opry member. "This is what country music means to me - helping a young musician achieve his dreams just like our heroes helped T-Roy and me."

Miller, who moved to Nashville in May, has two full-length releases and an EP he put out in April.
