Bucky Covington on stage in Allentown, 12/7; photo by our talented friend Aikenseeker, who had a fantastic time--thanks again for sharing this great shot!Bucky Covington's "It's Good to Be Us" is gracing the Top Ten at Mediabase for the third straight day--it's #10 on the weighted chart and #13 on the Top 500, with two plump and good-lookin' bullets. (There is a superstar group on Bucky's heels, though--so every request this weekend means a lot! We'll keep hittin' the phones...)
Upcoming shows: Dierks Bentley, Bucky Covington and Luke Bryan rock the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, NY tonight--if there are last-minute seats to be had, you'll find them at Ticketmaster. (A lot of our talented camera-toting buddies will be at this show--stay tuned for some terrific photos and memories!) Tomorrow, the Throttle Wide Open tour hits the Chevrolet Theatre in Wallingford, CT [tickets] before taking a break, then heading South again for an April 4th show at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham--snag a seat here and have fun!
