Weekend preview: Bucky Covington live at Kings Fair, photos via Twitter, new YouTube goodness and a quick look ahead...

Many thanks to the very kind Colleen for this luminous shot from Bucky Covington's concert last night in Southaven, MS, and to Hildi for graciously zapping it to us.  Bucky's concert schedule is right here--don't miss out on the fun!

Bucky Covington and his band are on their way to sunny California to perform at the Kings Fair in Hanford tomorrow, and if you're in the area, CBS 47 in Fresno has details about all the fair's happenings right here.  Have a great time, and watch out for those deep-fried delights!

One of the songs he'll be singing at the fair, his current single "I Wanna Be That Feeling", has a very popular video that's climbing the charts at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown and  CMT Pure's Pure 12 Pack--so if you won't be on hand to applaud for him in Hanford, vote for him from the comfort of your computer chair...

Bucky's concert going fans on Twitter have been posting some fun stuff lately!  Kimberly (aka @msBuckyfan) shared this sweet shot of Bucky signing an autograph, and jdixon74's sweeping sidestage shot of the whole band at the Kix showcase is a must-see, as well.  And over at YouTube, new concert footage is popping up--check out this 12-minute two-song treat from muziccitymuzic, "I'm Good" and "Mexicoma" from Portsmouth as captured by bryanfan04, and "I'll Walk" at Doughboyz by dannyw24881.  (And if you missed Bucky's own contribution to this week's video goodness, it's right over here and it's a hoot...) 

 Another awesome fresh concert shot--major thanks to the very generous Mel for sharing this photo of Rocky Covington and Bucky Covington on stage in Ashville last weekend.

After tomorrow's Kings Fair date, Bucky's next two scheduled stops are the Cotton Eyed Joe Customer Appreciation Party & Free Concert in Knoxville, TN on July 12th (click here to print your free ticket at Showclix) and a July 13th show at Generations in Wheeling, WV (tickets on sale now at Showclix.) We'll turn it over to the fine folks at Buckytown USA, where Fran will bring you all the news this and every Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. See you here again Monday night--have a great weekend!

Quick news: Bucky Covington at PBR Hampton Roads on March 10th (via 97.3 The Eagle--listen tonight, VA fans!)

There's a teeny glimpse of the finished "I Wanna Be That Feeling" music video in this beautiful advert for the Autism Sings benefit concert, happening on March 13th at Margaritaville Nashville. Click here for tickets, and find out how you can bid for a chance to meet and greets and/or an autographed guitar. Thanks to rchisum for posting this video at YouTube today!

We've got a couple of quick notes to share:

Although that March 10th concert date at PBR Hampton Roads in VA isn't on the eOne calendar yet, it's looking unofficially confirmed; 97.3 The Eagle just posted this message on their Facebook page:

Join 97.3 The Eagle at the Grand Opening of PBR Live with a performance from Bucky Covington! PBR Live is located in Hampton on the Power Plant Parkway. Doors open at 7pm with Bucky taking the stage at 7:30. PBR Riders will also be appearing!

That's going to be quite the party! There's also a note about this evening's Night Flight Test Flight; sounds like Stephanie Taylor will be playing "something brand new from Bucky" just before 9 pm local time, so if you're in the listening area, be sure to tune in...

Bucky was also part of the CRS fun for the folks promoting You've Been Sentenced. The game helps fund the efforts of Success Won’t Wait, a non-profit organization encouraging reading and literacy for children and adults, and the Country Music Edition made its debut at CRS. This fun photo of Bucky with McNeill Designs' CEO Don McNeill made it to Twitter today. (To find out more about You've Been Sentenced and Success Won't Wait, click here.)

We'll be back tomorrow evening--have a great night!

See Bucky Covington live--two new dates and more details on the Autism Sings event...

We had the pleasure of Tweeting two brand new Bucky Covington live concert dates yesterday evening--in case you missed them, here's the good news, courtesy of a very kind elf:

Bucky, Help The Good Guys and IAFF Local 140 will be supporting Camp Phoenix at the Southern Women's Show in Nashville on Thursday, April 12. (The Local 140 Firefighter Fashion Show sounds like a blast, too--bring your cameras!)

On Bucky's eOne Events page, there's a new summer date listed; he and his band will play at the Hillcrest Golf and Camping Resort in Orion, IL on June 16th, and while there seems to be a broken image link on the venue's Country Music Fest page, it's safe to guess that Bucky's going to be a big part of that day...

We'll close with a bit more info on the upcoming Autism Sings benefit concert in Nashville on March 13th--advance tickets are available online now via this link, and you can bid on an autographed guitar signed by all the stars and/or meet and greet and front-row seating options right here. Good luck!

Between "Bible and the Belt" and that line about getting Daddy's belt in "A Different World", Bucky Covington fans have lots of hit reasons to treasure this cool souvenir. Bucky's stylish, autographed tooled leather Western belt (complete with his name) is up for bids on eBay, and the proceeds from this charity auction will benefit Cannon County S.A.V.E., a domestic violence victims service agency in middle Tennessee.

The auction ends on Friday, October 15th at 9:11 am Pacific, and the bidding's already hot. Who'll walk off with this wearable win? Hope it's you...good luck to all!
