Bucky Covington in concert: new show dates, reminders, Grammy notes and a bit of video, too...

"It's Good to Be Us"--especially if you were one of the lucky folks at this show! Bucky Covington and his excellent band performed for a sunlit crowd at the Jam For America in Daytona Beach last Saturday, and pcredvette graciously shared this video from the concert at YouTube. Enjoy!

As for the recorded side of things, there's news from MJ's Big Blog about Bucky's most recent single, "A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)". Bucky's former label, Lyric Street Records, submitted the song for consideration as "Best Male Country Vocal Performance" for the 2011 Grammy Awards. The name of Bucky's next single--and the release date of his highly-anticipated second album--are still mysteries at the moment, but we're hoping for sweet revelations on both those fronts (and on the label front, too) very soon. In the meantime, if you haven't bought Bucky's digital EP delights I'm Alright, Reality Country or Live From Rockingham, you've got some enjoyable catching up to do...

See you soon!
