Bucky Covington's backstage interview, via Y108 (and a few concert reminders, too...)

A pair of summer tour memories, by request: Bucky Covington sings to the crowd in Belvidere (top) and jams with Scott Saunders (below) in these two terrific concert photos by Judy Lang. Many thanks for writing, and I'm glad you had such a blast at the show!

Thanks to the very kind reader who passed this link along--Bucky Covington's media blitz before the recent CMA Awards was a delight, and this video interview with Y108's Stoney is a fun way to start the day. Gotta love the "Mexicoma" endorsement!

Other than that, it's a pretty quiet news day so far. (I'm almost afraid to type those words now--we all know what happens after declarations of calm, yes?) However, there's some live excitement just around the bend--Bucky and his excellent band return to the stage on December 5th at Harlow's Casino Resort and Hotel in Greenville, MS. 1-866-524-5825 is the number to call for tickets and information about the show. (It's a lush and lovely venue--this show is the perfect pre-Christmas treat for yourself...)

Also coming soon--and also a red-hot ticket--is your chance to catch Bucky and company at the 8 Seconds Saloon in Indianapolis on January 15. Get your spot at Ticketmaster ASAP, y'all.

Scott Saunders and Bucky Covington rocked the Boone County Fair this past summer; click the photo to enjoy dcmandeville's "Unchain My Heart" video at YouTube. Thanks again to the very talented Judy Lang for the shot!

We'll close with the handy set of voting links--show Bucky's "Gotta Be Somebody" some love at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown and CMT's Pure 12-Pack, and please feel free to give your local country station a call, too. Requests are crucial during the holiday season, so every phone call, email or Twittered message is a big help. Much more later--enjoy your Tuesday!
