Bucky Covington on stage at Billy Bob's Texas earlier this month; photo by the very kind Honky Tonk Woman, who had a great time at the Raisin' the Bar show. Bucky returns to Billy Bob's on Sunday, 12/16 for the KPLX 12-Man Jam; click here for ticket giveaway info. Many thanks to Honky Tonk Woman for the great shot!Kathy's got a fun update for us at Team Covington tonight--sounds like a swing by the newsstand might be in order while you're out doing your Christmas shopping this weekend...
And if the holiday season brings out your giving spirit, you're not alone--KIZN and Bucky Covington are teaming up to benefit the Keep Kids Warm campaign, and the prize is an acoustic mini-concert by Bucky in January for the top fund-raising school in the Boise, Idaho area. Looks like it isn't too late to get your school in on this one, but time is of the essence--head to KIZN to learn more, and here's hoping your school gets a visit from Bucky next month!
Bucky's January is already jam-packed--it's tough keeping up with this very much in-demand emerging country star, but we're sure going to try! Here's a newly-revised (again) look at Bucky Covington's tour schedule for the rest of 2007 and 2008 (all dates subject to change):

Thank you so much, Winnie, for all the work you do for us each day. Keeping up with Bucky and his busy schedule is hard work and we love you for all you do for us.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas...BF!!
Merry Christmas to you and thanks so much, Buckyflowers...you are very kind. (It's my pleasure!)
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it great that Bucky's keeping us all so busy? Bucky's 30-year-plus career has started off exceptionally well--from that New Year's announcement of his label signing to now, it's been a wild, fun ride. And if he accomplished all this in 2007, imagine what 2008 will be like...
