Bucky Covington's fans are on the move! With his latest single, "I Wanna Be That Feeling", rumored to be set for an official release date in early March, his loyal listeners are reviving his Yahoo street team with a brand new address. Thanks to Sunny for setting up the new group here--join the fun now and get ready to support his return to the country airwaves...

Bucky's fans in Nashville are looking forward to an evening full of music and fun for a beautiful cause. Here's the latest news about that Autism Sings benefit on March 13th:

Country artists Ty Herndon, Bucky Covington, Bo Bice, Carter’s Chord and Mockingbird Sun will perform individual acoustic sets at the event, as will 13-year-old Katie Chance, who was diagnosed on the autism spectrum when she was two years old. An accomplished singer and performer, Chance also serves as the Junior Ambassador for Autism Speaks Tennessee Community. CMT Top 20 Countdown host Evan Farmer is emceeing the “Autism Sings!” event, which benefits research efforts at the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Autism Research.

“Autism Sings!” is held from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. in the upstairs room at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Nashville. VIP seating is available beginning at 6 p.m. Public seating and doors open at 7 p.m., with music starting at 8 p.m. There is a minimum $5 donation at the door. Advanced tickets are also available by contacting Kathy Streng at (615) 238-1625 or Kathy.Streng@AutismSpeaks.org.

And if you'd like to take home a one of a kind souvenir from the concert, an autographed guitar signed by all six of the stars is being auctioned off. You can also bid on meet-and-greet packages with the artists, and what better way to say "thank you"? For more info on the auctions, contact Kathy Streng at (615) 238-1625 or Kathy.Streng@AutismSpeaks.org.
