Up close and personal--a kind anonymous reader shared this great shot of Bucky Covington on stage at last night's KNIX Million Can Crusade show. Many thanks!Updated: KNIX just posted their large gallery of photos from the Mesa concert here. Happy browsing!
Bucky Covington and his excellent band are exceedingly busy this month--his KNIX show yesterday drew rave reviews from a kind anonymous commenter who was there for the party (click here to read it all--our thanks to you, Anon), and he's set to rock the Acreage Fall Fest show in West Palm Beach, FL tomorrow. The show is sponsored by WIRK; tune in and listen for any last-minute goodies...
Coming up soon: the 2009 Kiss Country Guitar Jam in Asheville on November 17th with Bucky, Jason Michael Carroll, Luke Bryan, Jessica Harp and Justin Moore. This one's sold out--congratulations to all who were able to snag a seat! Not sure if Kiss Country is giving away tickets to listeners, but if you're local, it's always a good idea to tune in, request Bucky (ahem!) and find out..
This one is definitely a listen-to-win affair: Bucky, his fellow Season 5 Idol alum Kellie Pickler, Josh Turner, and Joe Nichols are the acoustic performers for the Whistle 100 Songwriter's Showcase, sponsored by WSSL in Greenville, SC. It's happening at the Blindhorse Saloon (1035 Lowndes Hill Road) on November 18th, and tickets are still being given away. That's an awesome array of stars--hope you'll be there.
For more details on Bucky Covington's fall/winter concerts, bookmark his MySpace calendar, Buckytown USA's concert sidebar and Bucky's official tour page. He and his band put on a high-energy show that's bound to warm up your winter nights!
In broadcast news, Bucky's new single, "Gotta Be Somebody", was heard nationally on both CMT Radio Live w/Cody Alan and The Big Time w/Whitney Allen last night--yep, the syndicated radio shows have indeed picked up on it, which means it's time for us to pick up the phones and give our favorite hosts and hostesses a call. We're still looking forward to that Billboard Top 50 party, and every request--whether it's your cherished local DJ or your chosen syndicated star--helps tremendously.
Those video shows are vitally important, too, so vote for Bucky at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown and CMT's Pure 12-Pack (after 1 pm ET today for the latter), and feel free to bookmark CMT's Power Picks. Sometimes Power Picks matchups aren't posted in advance, and it always pays to be ready for surprises...
The Class of 2006: American Idol's Season 5 Top 12. (Photo: Fox)Finally (whew!) a reminder about tomorrow's American Idol Rewind--the Season 5 Top 12 performances air on this week's segment, and as the Idol site notes, "In an Rewind first, all Top 12 contestants narrate every step of the Idol experience, from their knee-knocking rehearsals with Stevie Wonder himself, to the anxious heart-skipping moments waiting for Simon Cowell's comments." This episode premieres on Saturday, November 14; it's syndicated, so check your local listings for exact time and channel.
Have a brilliant Friday!
