Bucky Covington on stage during the Country Jam USA festival in Grand Junction, CO a few weeks ago; thanks to our very kind friend Diver for providing the photo.It's a quiet news day (summer Saturdays usually are), but we do have a few reminders to share:
That special two-for-one discount at Opry.com ends tonight at 11:59 pm--if you're planning to see Bucky at the Grand Ole Opry on August 11th, this is a terrific opportunity to bring a friend along for the fun. The coupon code to use is FAN48; please see this post for full details, including restrictions, and enjoy the show!
Bucky's next stop is the Chemung County Fair in Horseheads, New York on Wednesday, 8/5; tickets are still available by phone at 607-734-1203. 99.5 WOKN has been very busy promoting the concert and giving away tickets, so if you're in the listening area, tune in and try your luck! (Speaking of radio stations, we're hoping that B104.7's gallery gets an update with shots from Bucky's Fire Jam performance in Kansas last night--bookmark that link and check back soon...)
We're used to the charts giving us a rollercoaster ride by now, and the morning Mediabase update continues that trend. Bucky's new single, "I Want My Life Back" [hear it at his MySpace] started the day at #35 with the dreaded "invisible bullet", but it's a safe bet that those weekend countdowns and our requests (ahem!) will get it back into the positive zone by this time tomorrow, or perhaps even by this evening's update. (It's a barely-invisible bullet, y'all--we're only 10 behind last week's total, so it ought to be back with its bright red glow very soon. Feel free to recruit a country-loving friend or neighbor to put in a good word for Bucky on your local station's request lines, too!)
A cool memory from one of Bucky's previous New Jersey shows; thanks to Pizzi for this shot taken at Tiffany's in Toms River back in May.Finally, it seems I was wrong about that slow-news-Saturday thing--a new date just popped up on Bucky's MySpace calendar (one of several new shows--I'll catch up, I promise), and it looks like a fun one! He'll be playing Prospectors in Mount Laurel, NJ on October 10th, as part of the Prospectors Concert Series sponsored by 92.5 XTU and the Guitar Center. From the site: For more information and dinner reservations call Prospectors at 856-235-1121 or visit www.prospectorsrestaurant.com.
New England's getting quite a few chances to experience Bucky Covington live this fall--congrats to all his fans in the area, and if you haven't seen his excellent show yet, treat yourself to a terrific night of music! (Look for that new-concert roundup here soon...)
Have a beautiful Saturday--Winnie
