Rocky Covington and Bucky Covington share a laugh at the Indiana State Fair in this beautiful shot by Buckaholic--thanks to her for capturing the moment. We'll start off Tuesday morning's update with some good news on the charts--Bucky Covington's single, "I Want My Life Back", is once again sporting a sweet (but slender) red bullet at Mediabase this morning. (Huge thanks to everyone who let their local radio stations know we love this song!) It's #29, and we'd like to see that bullet get plumper and plumper this week. Phone calls, eQuests, survey votes--they all matter so much right now. It's been a brutal summer for new artists on the charts, but autumn looks promising--especially with a new music video on the way...
Speaking of autumn, Bucky and his band have a sizzlin' live schedule for us this fall! We just discussed a possible Memphis show on October 24th (see previous post), and ticket information for more upcoming concerts is now available. Bucky's show at the Rodeo Club in San Jose, CA on September 4th is sponsored by KRTY; the station's detail page for the show is here. (From the site: Tickets available at KRTY, 750 Story Road, San Jose. $10 for the first 100, then $15 advance during regular business hours, 9a-5p Monday-Friday. WE ACCEPT CASH ONLY. Tickets will be $20 at the door.)
Our buds at Buckytown USA shared these big dates yesterday--Bucky and his band return to Joe's Bar in Chicago on Tuesday, September 8th for a listen-to-win show sponsored by US99 WUSN, and on Friday, October 2nd, catch them at Tomahawks Smokehouse and Saloon in Albans, WV for one of those rockin' intimate performances you'll love...
Another great concert photo by Buckaholic; Jeff Cease and Bucky Covington enjoy the sun and the crowd at the Indiana State Fair. Thanks again!In the more immediate future, Bucky's Western fans can enjoy him this weekend at the Kitsap County Fair in Bremerton, WA on Thursday, at the North Central Washington District Fair in Waterville, WA on Friday, and at the Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo in Kennewick, WA on Saturday. Yep, Bucky and his band are very much in demand--when you're hot, you're hot! Check out Bucky's MySpace calendar, Buckytown USA's concert sidebar and Bucky Covington's official tour page for a show near you soon...
We'll close for now with an update on that Duet Dreams Come True benefit auction for the ALS Association--looks like the "hot" theme continues at eBay, where the bidding on Bucky's goodie bundle is gratifyingly fiery! Hop into the fun, and snag some sweet stuff for a very good cause.
More soon--enjoy your Tuesday!--Winnie
Hi Winnie! In today's Country AirCheck, the CMA Music Fest took out an add thanking all the artists, fans, managers, etc. for making this a great week...Bucky is in the 3rd column top of the list!! That's our guy! :)

That is so cool, Kerri--thanks! Have you been able to get to the CMA Fest to see him perform there? (I am keeping my fingers crossed for next year...)
ReplyDeleteBrian Mansfield's USA Today Idol Chatter weekly Idol Airplay has Bucky's IWMLB holding at #13 with 1500 spins and listed as #28 on the charts. It also has the perennial commenter 'Idolwatcher' giving his comments on how poorly Bucky's song is doing. He has been giving his unsolicited negative review of IWMLB each week for 18 weeks now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anon! Brian's chart is a really enjoyable way to celebrate the power of Idol to give talented newcomers a boost.
ReplyDeleteI'm giggling good-naturedly about that commenter...the fact that the song's been on the charts for anyone to comment on for 18 weeks (and it's at its highest spot so far!) is kind of a counter-comment of its own, perhaps... :)
