Our good friends at Buckytown USA had an important note about Bucky and his band's upcoming party (er, concert) at Whisky River in Charlotte on the 18th; the doors open early-ish (5 pm) for this 18 and over show. It's his only home-state show for the rest of the year--definitely a must! There's also an occasional ticket contest happening for this one, so check out the Whisky River Twitter for updates.


Bucky Covington, Ducky Medlock (center) and Rocky Covington on stage in Rockingham--thanks again to our talented friend Judy Lang.

In other live news, a sad note about the annual Sound and Speed event in Nashville--it's been canceled for 2011. Bucky's Nashville fans looked forward to greeting him and their NASCAR favorites every year at this event, but never fear--chances are excellent that we'll be seeing and hearing lots more of Bucky and company as the New Year gets going. (As Fran at Buckytown noted, this preview of some new publicity photos--and some very kind words from the photographer--is a hint of good times ahead, and Steve Cook's recent journal entries subtly underscore the point.)

Oh yep--we've been here before! Keepin' the faith and waiting for news--it's a familiar feeling for Bucky's loyal fans, but we sure have been rewarded with some excellent news time and again. 2011 is gonna be hot, y'all. You heard it here first...

See you soon!
