Milligan, named by Country Music People as “one of the most exciting things to happen to country music," released his latest EP Jukebox Songs at the beginning of this year, highlighting his smooth, booming baritone vocal, towering over four fresh tracks full of instant-classic intensity and diverse country soul. His current single, “I Got A Problem,” has become the most played song on Australia Country Radio and hit No. 1 on the CountryTown National Airplay Chart, contributing to his impressive milestone of over 150 million on-demand worldwide streams. This release built on a streak of early success, stemming from Milligan’s America’s Got Talent emergence and breakout debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth.
Milligan has received international acclaim from the likes of Classic Rock Magazin, daMusic, Countrymusicnews.de, CountryStyle, Maxazine, Kultur Blog Berlin, New Country NL and Country.de, who praised the Texas native for his “timeless country music.”
