Bucky Covington's Hometown Tour keeps on rollin'! He'll be greeting fans in his own new hometown, Nashville, at CMA Fest this year; the latest update from the festival's site is that Bucky will be signing in Fan Fair Hall at Booth 700. It's all happening at the Nashville Convention Center (entrance on Commerce Street near 5th Ave), and as soon as more details come in, we'll post them here...

Thanks again to the very talented Judy Lang for this great concert photo of Bucky Covington on stage in Tulsa, OK.

Buckytown USA has two shows in the spotlight for this week, and the first one's free. On Friday, Bucky and his excellent band will rock the Thibodaux Firemen's Fair in Thibodaux, LA from 10:30 to midnight. (Here's a handy Google map to the fairgrounds; hope you can be there!) Saturday, the tour bus will stop at the Celebrity Lounge at the Eldorado Resort Casino in Shreveport, LA ; tickets are $25, and Fran notes that there may be a conference call happening that night.

We'll sign off with a hearty welcome and a wave to Bucky's brand new fans! Many thanks to you for stopping by--it's been fun to see new visitors, and we hope you'll bookmark us, Buckytown USA, Bucky's official site and the many cool links on the sidebars and enjoy the ride. We'll answer a few of the top search queries:

• Bucky's new album, tentatively titled I'm Alright, will likely make its way to a very eager audience sometime this fall. As of now, there's been no label announcement, but we're hoping to have news on that very soon.

• The very best way to hear Bucky's new tunes is to get to a show--and bring a friend, or two, or several...the more the merrier!

• The best way to help those new tunes get on the radio when they're officially released is to request Bucky's previous hits at your local country station. (Yep, a look back at the archives will reveal that we've been a wee bit...um, repetitive about the importance of radio requests. But it is vital--keeping Bucky's beautiful voice on the radio is a huge help now and down the road. When stations know that local listeners are interested in an artist, they're more likely to his new material a spin and/or book him for local shows and events. So keep in touch with your favorite DJ, y'all.)

Back soon with much more--have a delightful day!
