Quick Monday news: Bucky Covington in Alaska, chart check and more...

Many thanks to the gracious Buckaholic for this up-close-and-personal shot of Bucky Covington getting soulful on stage at the Indiana State Fair. Click the image to check out his concert schedule at Bucky's official site.

Bucky Covington
and his excellent band are bringing some Southern charm way, way up North tonight; they're playing the Alaska State Fair in Palmer at 7:30 pm, and if you're local (lucky you!) keep it tuned to sponsoring station KBEAR 104.1 for updates and possible extras. (Speaking of extras, Country 104.7 KKRV has a few shots from Bucky's Waterville, WA stop posted on their photo wall today...)

As mentioned earlier, "I Want My Life Back" is proudly sporting a big red bullet this morning, despite a superstar polevault that bumped it back to #31--show Bucky some love on the request lines, and that bullet's bound to look even sweeter.

We're working on an autumn concert post for this afternoon--there are lots of hot nights of music to look forward to as the weather cools down! In the immediate future, Bucky's California fans have reason to celebrate, as he and his band return for a show at The Wrangler in Elk Grove (Sacramento area) on Thursday, 9/3 , and make a stop in San Jose at the Rodeo Club on Friday, 9/4. On Saturday night, they'll rock the Inter-Mountain Fair in McArthur. (As always, we heartily recommend bookmarking Bucky's MySpace calendar, Buckytown USA's concert sidebar and Bucky Covington's official tour page for the latest on his exciting live happenings.)


Rocky Covington takes the mic while Bucky Covington plays guitar at the Indiana State Fair--thanks again to Judy Lang for this terrific photo.

We're looking forward to a little more TV and media time once Bucky's second album, due November 3rd as of now, hits the shelves. His Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader appearance for charity airs on CMT September 23rd, and Bucky mentioned a planned music video shoot in Rockingham during an interview a couple of weeks back. He spoke briefly about the final decision on the cover art during his video chat with Brent at KKRV, and it would be a big boost to see it soon...maybe this week? Carrie Underwood's beautiful CD cover has just been posted on Brian Mansfield's Idol Chatter blog at USA Today--here's hoping we're next...)

More--including that fall concert roundup--coming up. Happy Monday, everyone!--Winnie
