Help The Good Guys Special Edition updates, new John Dixon photos, Bucky Covington at the Academy of Country Music Rodeo Live Stage, 12/13 and more...

Rocky Covington, Bucky Covington and Ducky Medlock are the songwriters of Bucky's hot new single with Shooter Jennings, "Drinking Side of Country"--watch the wild music video for the song here, and see all of John Dixon's excellent photographs from the Chattanooga fundraiser for Tristin Greer at Bucky's official gallery.  Many thanks to the very generous Mr. Dixon for the photo!

We'll begin with word of a brand new concert date, via GAC--enjoy Bucky Covington at the Academy of Country Music Rodeo Live Stage during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas on December 13th.  The show will be part of Cowboy Fanfest, a new, fully interactive area--hop over to NFRExperience.com for details, and make plans to be there!

Bucky and Help the Good Guys are uniting forces to bring you (and your business) a new and very cool way to help out firefighters and their families who've been affected by Hurricane Sandy.  For the past couple of weeks--and until December 31st--all proceeds from downloads of "Drinking Side of Country",  Bucky's rockin' single with Shooter Jennings, are being donated to raise funds for firefighters who lost their homes during the superstorm.

Now, Bucky and HTGG present a eye-catching countertop box filled with the IAFF Special Edition of Bucky's new CD, Good Guys, as a point of purchase display for retail businesses, firefighter locals, restaurants, offices, salons and more.  As with the single, all proceeds from the sale of this package will be donated to help firefighter families on the East Coast affected by Hurricane Sandy.  If there's someone you know who has a shop, small business, or office, and has a heart for firefighters and first responders in need, be sure to pass this great news along.  (Don't miss Bucky and HTGG's Mickey Milam announcing the release of the special box in this video.)

John Dixon of Dixon Media captured some truly stunning shots from last weekend's benefit pancake breakfast and acoustic concert for Tristin Greer--you'll definitely want to check out this whole album at Bucky's official gallery.  (There's also more excellent local video from the day at WDEF News 12's site.)

We'll be back very soon with more details on a great Bucky Covington/Help the Good Guys event coming up on Monday, November 19th in Virginia Beach--stay tuned for the scoop!

In the meantime, be sure to request Bucky at your local country station and on your favorite nationally syndicated country music show, and vote for Bucky and Shooter at GAC's Top 50 Videos of the Year and at CMT Pure's Pure 12 Pack. Have a good evening, everybody!

Good news! Bucky Covington and band live at Whiskey Bent, June 6th (fan club party SOLD OUT, performance open to public!)

 If you were one of the many fans who couldn't get a pass for Bucky Covington's sold out fan club bash in Nashville, here's some good news!  This press release from earlier today says it all:

Nashville, TN (June 4, 2012): BUCKY COVINGTON will be surrounded by a packed house of his devoted fans this Wednesday night, June 6 at Whiskey Bent Saloon in Nashville, Tennessee. Shortly after announcing the event to his fans, the event was at capacity with all available tickets snatched up within hours. Due to the exuberant response, Bucky decided to extend the party with a free full band show later that night.

The fan club party will open to those lucky ticketholders at 8:30pm where Covington will mingle, sign autographs, and do a “fan Q&A” with an acoustic performance. Following his sold-out fan club event, all country music fans can join the party downstairs at Nashville’s Whiskey Bent to enjoy the full band performance by Bucky starting around 10:30pm. The event is free and open to the public.

Covington’s newest single, “I Wanna Be That Feeling,” from his highly anticipated sophomore album I’m Alright, is now impacting country radio, with a video on GAC’s Top 20 Countdown!

Quick weekend preview: Bucky Covington in California Friday and Saturday, a video and a chart check (updated)

Another great shot from Stockton--Bucky Covington on stage at the Asparagus Festival, as captured by our talented Californian friend Minnie.  Thanks so much!


Bucky Covington is delighting his California fans with two shows this weekend--and he shared a little something for those of us who can't come along!  This fun video was posted to Bucky's Facebook earlier today.  Hmmm...a little behind the scenes intrigue.  Wonder if that door's been unlocked by now.  Hope so--thanks, Bucky!)

That car is headed to this evening's Country for Coaches benefit show in Woodland, sponsored by 101.9 the Wolf and featuring Bucky, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi, Due West, and Matt Gary. The concert takes place at the Yolo County Fairgrounds Arena (1250 East Gum Ave in Woodland, CA) with music beginning at 6 or so; there may be some tickets available at the door for $35, and with a lineup like that, it's well worth the trip...


Tomorrow, Bucky rocks the KATM Listener Appreciation Concert at Weber Point in downtown Stockton, CA.  Today's last ticket stop takes place shortly (between 5 and 7 p.m.  local time) at the Bankhead Theatre in Livermore, and you can also buy tickets for $10 cash at the KAT Country office in Stockton.  Montgomery Gentry, J.T. Hodges, Jon Pardi, Greg Bates and Jaida Dryer will all be there, and we hope you'll be there, too!

If you were there for Bucky's performance at the 8-Man Jam in Pittsburgh last week, you might see yourself in this newly posted gallery of backstage photos at Y 108's website.  Happy browsing...

"I Wanna Be That Feeling", Bucky's beautiful current single, is holding steady at #43 on the Music Row Country Breakout Chart for the second week in a row.  (I think I hear some request lines and some GAC and CMT Pure voting links callin' my name, y'all...how about you?) It should be hitting the publicly-available Mediabase charts soon.  Top 40 could be just around the corner...

In the meantime, please be sure to check in with our good friend Fran at Buckytown USA for this weekend's hottest updates, photos and more this and every Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning.  (To those of you getting ready for CMA Fest next week--you lucky folks!--rest up and buy some extra batteries for those cameras, cause it's gonna be a sweet whirlwind.)  Have a great weekend!

Edited to add:  The CMA Fest site is updated, and Bucky Covington has a Fan Fair Hall booth number--say hi to him at Booth 739 this year.  If you missed out during the admittedly complicated Fan Fair autograph pass process,  you can still win one of a limited number of autograph passes through an on-site drawing at the Nashville Convention Center. Click here (.pdf) for a flyer with all the info you'll need, and as always, good luck!

NorCal Country reports that tomorrow night's 101.9 the Wolf Country for Coaches benefit concert in Woodland, CA is very nearly sold out!  The money raised from the show will help fund coaching stipends for the Woodland Joint Unified School District, and the needs are urgent.  Kip Moore, Jon Pardi, Due West, and Matt Gary will be there, too--the music gets underway at 6 pm local time with a set by Matt Gary, followed by Bucky.  Seats may still be available at Brown Paper Tickets, but if they're all gone by the time you read this, a very limited number of tickets will be sold at the door for $35.

Bucky's new single, "I Wanna Be That Feeling", has been added to a couple of new stations in the last week:  if your local country station's not among them,  call 'em up and let them know you'd like to hear it in your town, too!  We're looking forward to the next chart updates, but for now...yep, you guessed it, vote for Bucky at GAC and CMT Pure by clicking those handy buttons at the top right.  We'll see you soon!

A little night music: Bucky Covington live in Stockton...

From his first hit ("A Different World") to his current smash "I Wanna Be That Feeling", there's nothing like the distinctive (and very cool) voice of Bucky Covington! This video was taken during his recent show in Stockton, CA; to find out where he and his band will be performing next, bookmark his events calendar at eOne.  Thanks to TartanBo for posting this one at YouTube.

A little bit of news for a very late evening:

The Tallahatchie Riverfest site has been updated, and Bucky Covington's picture now graces the home page.  He and his band will be the headliners on Saturday night, September 22nd, and they'll take the Bob Johnson Memorial Stage at 8 pm.  If you'd like to enjoy the best seat in the house--literally!--be sure to stop by the the UCDA stand at the fest and the "Best Seat in the House" contest sponsored by Kevin Charles Furniture.  From the site: "We'll sit you right up front with a comfy couch from Kevin Charles so you won't miss a bit of the big concert on Saturday night!"  Sounds like fun...

A couple of Bucky's upcoming events are already sold out (the Fan Club party is full, and the GAC Lodge contest ended earlier today), but it looks like tickets are still available for the big Celebrity Go-Go benefit for Hear the Music Live on June 5th.   Registration for the events is open now at the Celebrity Go-Go site, and Idol favorites Bo Bice, Melinda Doolittle and Josh Gracin are among the many stars on hand for this event.   Have fun, meet some generous celebrities, and help out a great cause!

Speaking of helping, Bucky and Help the Good Guys are committed to helping firefighters and law enforcement officers in times of need, and the new Help The Good Guys Presents Bucky Covington  CD is a fantastic way of supporting a fine charity and enjoying some fine music, too. (Check out that tracklist--lots of your live favorites are included...)

We'll close with a reminder to vote for Bucky's new single, "I Wanna Be That Feeling", at GAC's Top 20 Country Countdown and CMT Pure's Pure 12 Pack, and let your local country DJ know you'd like to hear him as well.  We'll be back tomorrow--enjoy the evening!

Thank you, Bucky Covington! A sweet shout-out at Facebook, "I Wanna Be That Feeling" video update and a possible new date in Iowa...

An Iowa concert memory from a little while back; here's Bucky Covington and his band performing "Evel Knievel" at the 2009 KJJY Big Country Bash in Des Moines. Thanks to kierin75 for posting this at YouTube!

First things first--we're very thankful for the sweet shout out posted at Bucky Covington's official Facebook today! It's a pleasure keeping up with Bucky's busy schedule, and we're also thankful to you for stopping in and saying hello...

Speaking of Bucky's busy schedule (nice segue, yes?) it looks like there's an unofficial but highly likely addition today. This press release from SpeedwayMedia.com has some good news for Bucky's fans in Iowa:

NEWTON, IA. – March 22, 2012 – As part of the initiative to improve the already great fan experience, Iowa Speedway is moving this year’s concert acts to the pre-race festivities – allowing more fans an opportunity to attend. Also new for this year: local bands from around the central Iowa region will be performing on the opening night of each event weekend on the Grinnell Mutual Concert Stage.

“In review of last year, we have been asking fans where we can improve the overall fan experience; and concert times were one of our main topics of discussion,” said Stan Clement, president of Iowa Speedway. “From the feedback, we feel moving all but one of our concerts to pre-race really allows more fans to enjoy this benefit of having a race ticket.”

The May 19 and 20 event weekend has Loose Neutral, a classic rock band from Marshalltown, performing Saturday afternoon before the Iowa 150 presented by Graham Tire Company, and Bucky Covington, who was a former American Idol finalist, will get the crowd amped for the Pioneer Hi-Bred 250 on Sunday.

Tickets for the Pioneer Hi-Bred 250 are available online at Ticketmaster now. Congratulations to all of Bucky's fans in the area--have fun! Tonight, Bucky's on stage at Z104 Country's listener appreciation concert in Salt Lake City with Steve Holy and The Farm. That one's a listen and win show, but tickets for his next scheduled date at Keller's Saloon in Castalian Springs, TN on April 7th are still available to the public, if you move very fast! Get yours by phone at 615-374-4719 ASAP...


A favorite Big Country Bash photo by the very kind Janie: Rocky Covington and Bucky Covington enjoy some applause in Des Moines.

Bucky shared some good news at Twitter in reply to a listener's question about the video for his hot new single, "I Wanna Be That Feeling"--he said it's on its way "very very soon...it's ready and I've seen it." Needless to say, we're eagerly anticipating its debut on CMT and GAC. In the meantime, hearing it is as easy as picking up the phone and requesting Bucky at your local country radio station. (You knew I was gonna say that, didn't you?)

We'll be back very soon--have a great night, everyone!

Quick news: Bucky Covington at WBEE, and live tomorrow in Salt Lake City...
