New shows, new winners, and a new recap...

By request, Bucky Covington on stage at Coyote Joe's in Charlotte; photo by the very kind Buckyroo. Thanks again!

Bucky Covington's a busy artist these days--and the newly revised Tour page at his official site tells the story. Quite a few dates on Dierks Bentley's Throttle Wide Open tour are not listed on the Ticketmaster page, but you can always hop over to Dierks.com for more details, or check your local venue's site for the latest. Several meet-and-greet opportunities await you at Bucky's site, too--if you're a fan club member, now's the time to put in that request! (And if you're not a fan club member, click here to find out more about joining, or sign up for the street team for free...)

There's a new date that just popped up on the horizon--Dierks and Bucky are listed on the concert calendar at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas where they'll play the "Backyard" on Friday, May 2nd. (The "Backyard" is a mock-modest name for a very snazzy poolside venue at the resort, complete with an island--that's going to be quite a night!) Tickets go on sale Saturday, 3/15 at the Station Casinos online box office, and this is a 21-and-over show.

Bucky's latest winner has been chosen at his MySpace blog, and his video answer to today's question has been posted. Congratulations to the lucky qualifiers! Your next chance to win an autographed photo and be entered in a drawing for concert tickets and meet and greet passes happens at 9:00 p.m. ET tomorrow, and if you're a friend of Bucky's on MySpace, check your bulletins now for news on an additional opportunity to win. Here's the scoop:

To help those of you that have slower computers and to give an extra chance to win.. we have decided to add an ADDITIONAL DAILY winner!

The FIRST person to answer the daily question correctly wins an autographed picture and grand prize drawing entry the same as before. In addition, one random winner will be picked out of everyone that answered the question correctly in the blog to ALSO receive an autographed picture and grand prize entry!

To allow people time to submit their response, the answer to the question will NOT be posted right away. At LEAST 3 hours or more will be given after each question is posted before the answer is announced. As long as you post the correct answer in the blog BEFORE the answer is revealed, your entry will be counted in the daily random drawing.

Sounds like fun! Be sure to watch Bucky's exciting video for "It's Good to Be Us", and get ready for your chance to snag an autographed photo and to qualify for a rockin' night to remember...

Buckaholic had a rockin' night to remember in Indianapolis over the weekend, and she's posted her fun recap of the Murat Theater concert at Bucky's CMT.com message board this evening. Big thanks to Buckaholic for sharing the excitement in words and excellent photos--a live Bucky Covington concert always brings the thrills. Happy reading!

We'll close with a few reminders--the nominees for the 43rd annual Academy of Country Music Awards will be announced on Tuesday's The Early Show at 8:30 a.m. ET on CBS, and Bucky's first CMT Power Picks matchup of the week happens on Tuesday's show; tune in at 12 noon ET tomorrow and be ready for a mouse-clicking good time.

More later--see you very soon!
