Blue skies and great country music--the perfect combination for a day at the fair! Bucky Covington (with Jeff Brown on drums at right) charmed the crowd at the Indiana State Fair yesterday; many thanks to the very gracious Buckaholic for the terrific photo. Here's a very quick look at what's happening today:
Bucky Covington fans who missed his appearance on CMT's Top 20 Countdown Friday morning are in luck--you can catch a rerun of the show today at 11:00 am ET. (Show host Lance Smith spoke with Jeff Foxworthy, Bucky and Heidi Newfield about that upcoming Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader episode in a segment that's sure to be a blast...)
On the live front, it's a travel day for Bucky and company. He and the band are headed for three fairground shows in Washington, and a kind anonymous commenter let us know that a new drummer, Jeff Brown, has joined the touring band. Welcome, Jeff! We wish Tom Hurst all the best, as well. (More details on next week's concerts are coming up later; for now, bookmark Bucky's MySpace calendar, Buckytown USA's concert sidebar and Bucky Covington's official tour page and make plans to be there for the excitement.)
Thanks again to our talented friend Buckaholic for this great shot of Jeff Cease, Bucky Covington and Steve Cook rockin' the crowd at the Indiana State Fair. Click the image to find out when Bucky and his band are headed your way!Bucky's beautiful current single, "I Want My Life Back", continues its Top 30 streak today--it's at #29 on the Mediabase published charts, and it's poised to go even higher with a little help from the weekend countdowns and from us. (You know--the request-line kind of help.) Be sure to keep your local country station's contact info handy while you're out enjoying the late summer sun! And if you missed yesterday's Lyric Street video from Bucky's Grand Ole Opry performance of the song, be sure to check it out right here--it's a beauty.
We'll close with another fun video--this one's from Bucky's concert at the State Fair of West Virginia, and despite a pesky broken string, he and the band had the crowd singing along happily to his debut hit, "A Different World". Thanks to the very generous Shirley for posting this at MySpace--enjoy, and have a stellar Saturday!--Winnie
