Tuesday news: Bucky Covington rocks Buffalo tomorrow, and a little more from last night's ASCAP Awards...

Thanks again to the very gracious LISAMARIE22685 for sharing her Columbus concert memories at YouTube; here's Bucky Covington and his rockin' band putting a soulful country spin on "Unchain My Heart". Click here for a look at Bucky's fall concert schedule, and make plans to be there for the live excitement!

Once again, it looks like most of today's big news came in last night, but there is a new (if brief) bit of ASCAP Awards video coverage at NewsChannel5.com in Nashville, where Bucky Covington was one of the artists chosen for a quick soundbite. (Look closely for Bucky's beautiful Idol classmate Kellie Pickler, too...)

After a dazzling night out, it's back to the road for Bucky and his excellent band--tomorrow's WYRK Acoustic Concert in Buffalo, NY is bound to be a hot one, and it's probably very close to sold-out by now. If you're looking for last-minute seats, head to the Center for the Arts ticket office, Ticketmaster.com or call 1-800-745-3000 for the latest update--good luck, and we hope you can be there!

Also going fast: VIP tickets for the 2009 Kiss Country Guitar Jam in Asheville on November 17th are sold out (congrats to you if you were among the lucky few!), and regular seats are going fast, according to the station's last update. The concert is a benefit for the Mission Children's Hospital, and Bucky, Jason Michael Carroll, Luke Bryan, Jessica Harp and Justin Moore are set to rock the Orange Peel that night. Tickets ($20) are on sale now at the Kiss Country studios, the Orange Peel box office, and via TheOrangePeel.net.

"Gotta Be Somebody", Bucky's new single from his upcoming second album I'm Alright, is officially released and lookin' good--as we mentioned in the previous post, it moved up to #49 (from #53) on this week's Billboard Country Indicator chart, and a kind Anon in comments noted that it's now #44 on County Aircheck's Activator chart, as well. Fourteen stations added Bucky's new single to their playlists last week--is yours among them? Tune in, listen close, and keep that request line number handy...

More very soon!
