(Provided by Country Music Association. Photo: Teresa Montgomery/ CMA.)It's been a wild and exciting week--what better way to top it off than with a look back at a wild and exciting performance? Bucky Covington, Sarah Buxton and Trent Tomlinson are featured in tonight's encore of GAC's Riverfront Concert Series special--catch it at 10:30 p.m. ET, with a repeat at 2:30 a.m. ET and a last chance showtime of 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. (I haven't been able to see this yet, but word has it there are several familiar fan faces in the audience, too...)
On the charts, Bucky's bright single "It's Good to Be Us" has some much plumper bullets at the Mediabase weighted and Top 500 charts, where it's #18 this morning. (Looks like there might be a bit of opportunity ahead this week, as a few huge hits near the top of the chart begin their graceful trip down the list. We'll keep requesting!)
A quick look at today's other news:

Huge congratulations to Dierks and his fans on his multiple honors!
More very soon--have a fantastic Friday...
Dierks Bentley was on Chelsea Lately late last night . He did not specifically mention Bucky. He was on because Sunday, Feb. 10 are the Grammys and he has 4 nominations. I will be watching to see if Bucky Covington will be opening for months for a Grammy winning country star. Can't help but help Bucky!! Good luck to Dierks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, and a huge congratulations to Dierks! We're wishing him a great Grammy night, too--hope Sunday is a big, big day for him. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like there is a consolation round at Idol Thoughts. Bucky is on that list.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, and thanks! I looked at the Idol Thoughts site and couldn't find the consolation round--if you or someone else can point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to link it out front. (Navigation was never my claim to fame. :) Thanks!
