Caitlin Evanson and Bucky Covington on stage at Uncle Ron's in Lincoln, Nebraska yesterday; photo by the very kind Janie, who shares more of her images from that exciting show in her Photobucket gallery. Thanks so much, Janie! Bucky Covington's debut CD is in stores now, and his music videos for "It's Good to Be Us" and "A Different World" are available for online viewing at CMT.com and Yahoo Music. You can buy Bucky's album at Amazon, Best Buy , iTunes, WalMart Music and Target, hear the full version of his singles at CMT and GAC, or enjoy samples of songs from the CD at Bucky's official MySpace. A copy of Bucky Covington can be ordered at his official site or via his official fan club.Here's a perfect way to start your Thursday morning--our very kind friend Janie was at last night's Lincoln show at Uncle Ron's, and she says that Bucky Covington and his band enjoyed an extremely enthusiastic reception from a fully-packed house. Her Photobucket gallery is posted here, and it's beautiful. (This shot might be an all time favorite...)
Janie also says that Bucky's Lincoln set included "I'll Walk" (she reports that he referred to it as "his favorite" on the CD) and "Please Come Home for Christmas". Huge thanks to Janie for the recap and for the great photos--she definitely caught the excitement!
There's a concert news flash at the Green Bay Press-Gazette today; the list of performers for next year's huge Country USA festival in Oshkosh, Wisconsin hasn't yet been posted on the festival's site, but the Gazette is reporting that Bucky will indeed be performing there on Thursday, June 26, 2008. Tickets are available now by phone at (920) 882-4949; see the Country USA site for the full scoop. (And if you're in the mood for a blast from the past, this sweet set of photos from Bucky's performance with Sawyer Brown at his very first Country USA is worth a second look...)
"It's Good to Be Us", Bucky's exuberant current single, is holding steady at #29 on both the Mediabase weighted and Top 500 charts again today. (The bullets accompanying those numbers are still looking good, too!) Keep requesting "It's Good to Be Us" at your favorite local and/or streaming country stations, watch the video at CMT, and vote for Bucky at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown, at CMT's Top 20 Countdown, at the GAC Top 50 Videos of the Year poll and at CMT's Pure Country Pure 12-Pack. A kind anonymous commenter left word that the video wasn't part of this week's CMT Top 20 Countdown, but it's very safe to bet that with all this good chart news, he'll be making his debut there a week from this morning...Bucky's musical holiday gift, a rockin' version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", is hitting the airwaves in two new cities--congratulations to Bucky's fans in Tampa Bay, who can hear his Merry Christmas wishes on WQYK 99.5, and to the Denver country fans listening to KWLI/92.5 The Wolf. Good old 97.3 The Hawk in Des Moines was the first country station to hop on this irresistible goodie, and if your country station is spinning holiday tunes, it could be the next--call up, request Bucky and see. In the meantime, your opportunity to hear it online awaits at Bucky's official MySpace.
Here's an APB for Rocky Covington's many fans--there are changes ahead at RockyCovington.com, and you can be a part of the new look! If you had a chance to pose for a photo with Rocky, you can send it to fanphotos@rockycovington.com; a Fan Photo section is in the works. Sign up for Rocky's newsletter and you'll stay on top of all the changes. (And enjoy Rocky's fun new Q and A videos, while you're there...)

Janie, It was nice to meet you! What a blast the show was last night!! He gets better evertime I see him and I don't know how it's possible for him to get any better since I think he's already fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get my pictures posted tomorrow. Heading out of town on business right now. I'm sure alot of my pix will look similar to Janie's because we were standing next to each other. :)
Janie, can you take a pix of the set list (or scan it) and post it so we can all see?
Rachel
ARGGG, getting really frustated now. NO Bucky on the CMT top 20 again.I don't think this video is going to make it on.
ReplyDeleteHi, Rachel and Anon! Rachel, that looks like it was a truly exciting time at Uncle Ron's--have a safe trip and thanks for bringing your camera along. You and Janie must have had a blast last night!
ReplyDeleteAnon, take heart--I bet you the video will debut on next week's CMT Top 20. The chart news and the buzz have been postive the past few days--maybe too late for this week's show, but in time for the next one--keep the faith. :)
I see the Jinglefest site says the DJ Bo will be broadcasting from 2p-7p on WIL. pogo
ReplyDeleteI am vacationing in CO a couple of hours from Denver so I immediately clicked on your Wkli link...if you click on request you have a place to vote for two of Bucky's songs..vote for 5 and then click on submit at the bottom..
ReplyDeletePogo and Anon, I am sorry I missed you yesterday! Thanks to you both--hoping that some great Jinglesfest photos and audio turn up at WIL over the weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Anon, thanks for the tip on the Denver station! Very cool news. :)
