Call up your local country DJ now and ask for Bucky's "I Want My Life Back", or call the syndicated host who's on the air where you are. Thanks!

Bucky Covington and his band will rock the Riverfront Stages at CMA Fest on June 12th; after that, they'll begin a very busy summer tour that winds all the way West and back again. But before all that happens, you'll get several chances to say hi to Bucky and share an up close and personal moment at next week's fest--here's a quick guide to where and when.

Rocketown- Fan Club Dinner
Bucky's first official fan club party includes a dinner, a meet and greet, a goodie bag (hmmm) and a performance by Bucky. His official site has all the details, and you can still buy will-call tickets directly from their store. Not in the fan club yet? Guest/non-member tickets are available at $40 for a limited time, but we'll recommend joining the fan club anyway--meet and greet opportunities, merch discounts and more are among the benefits. (There's even a snazzy new members-only T-shirt...)
Rocketown is located at 401 6th Ave S in Nashville : here's a handy map. Have fun, and let us know what's in those goodie bags!

Autograph Session-Bucky Covington Booth
The CMA Fest site has all the exhibit hall info for you here; Bucky's booth is #634, and although the fest's page doesn't have the little graphic denoting autograph signing, Bucky's official tour page has been updated to note that he'll be there in person from 12 noon-2 pm. (Two recommendations: come early and wear comfy shoes. There might be quite a line!) Four-day ticket holders can catch a free CMA shuttle that'll drop you off right at the exhibit hall in the Nashville Convention Center on Broadway--check out the shuttle loop map at the festival site.

Chevy Booth-Autograph Session
The Chevy booth is #517 (same building--no need to hop back on the shuttle) and Bucky will be signing from 3 to 4 pm.

GAC booth 200- Autograph Session
One last autograph session at GAC's booth, #200--you can say hi to Bucky there between 4 and 5 pm.
Do not go get a good night's sleep once the signing is over. (C'mon, y'all--it's CMA Fest. Go party! The festival's site has some fun "After Hours" suggestions, and you never can tell who you might run into out there. But do get a little rest, because you'll want to be up early for a good spot at Bucky's show the next morning...)

Riverstages concert
Bucky and the band play the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage at 11 am; four-day pass holders get first entry when the gates open at 9 am, and at 9:45, the general public gets to stake out a spot. The free shuttle stops short of the Riverfront stage area, but the site assures us that "CMA Music Festival Activities are conveniently located in Downtown Nashville within walking distance of each other." (Your mileage may vary, literally.)
First time attendees should pack a lunch and spend a few hours at the CMA Fest FAQ page, where every question you can think of, and a few hundred more, has seemingly been asked and answered. I'm unable to make it this year, alas, but if I start now, I might know enough to navigate next year's fest. Congrats to everyone who'll be partying with Bucky next week. Have a blast!--Winnie
