Wednesday news: Bucky Covington's July heats up, Dauphin's Countryfest, chart update and more...

If you're out West and looking for some musical excitement, look no more--Bucky Covington and his excellent band have got you covered in July! The month of June winds down with three hot Western stops; hear Bucky at the Flaming Gorge Days celebration in beautiful Green River, Wyoming on Friday, July 26th, at Country Jam USA in Grand Junction, Colorado on Saturday, June 27th, and at the Des Moines Water Works Park for 92.5 KJJY's Big Country Bash on Sunday, June 28th.


Another great fan club party concert shot by Buckaholic; thanks again!

After that weekend, the tour bus rolls on to Wyoming on July 3rd for the Sheridan Wyoming Rodeo, where Bucky and Blake Shelton will light up the night (tickets available online via MaxWeb), to the Greeley Stampede in Greeley, CO on July 4th, and a date we somehow missed--or is it a new one?--Dauphin's Countryfest in Manitoba, Canada, where Bucky and his band will be part of a huge multi-artist festival headlined by Tim McGraw. They'll take the Casinos at Winnipeg Main Stage on Sunday, July 5th. Congratulations to all of Bucky's Manitoba fans!

There's an epic battle brewing between "I Want My Life Back" [hear Bucky Covington's new single at his MySpace] and the song immediately ahead of it on the Mediabase pubished charts. Bucky's currently #34 with a bullet, and the stats are so close that anything could happen in the next few days. We will keep those request line phones hopping! Lunchtime and "Top X at X' requests help during the day, and those evening and syndicated requests keep the ball rolling at night. It all counts, and with Bucky being closeasthis to a Top 30 triumph, all hands are welcome on deck! (Feel free to encourage a country-radio listening friend or two to call in, too...)

We'll wind it up for the moment with a few repeat links; your opinion is still very much sought-after at Country Weekly's cyber poll. Country's all-time sexiest stars are being chosen, and that Future category is calling out for a write-in vote. We love seeing Bucky's name and face in Country Weekly--stop in, have your say, and share that link with your email and real-life friends! (And if you'd like to show them why you made your pick, Buckymouse's beautiful "I Want My Life Back" concert montage video and Midask9's stellar Neenah, WI concert photos are perfect links to add.)

More very soon!--Winnie
