New single “It’s Good To Be Us” there’s a lot of the fans out there just scooping up that new single. Bucky a native of Rockingham N.C, has all ways loved country music from the time he was a little boy, he taught himself to play the guitar, and when the week-ends rolled around he was playing in a club or a bar in the Carolinas. Bucky has a twin brother Rocky and they are very close, Rocky plays the drums in Covington’s band. Bucky was chosen as one of the finalist in the 2006 season of American Idol, he placed eighth in the competition. Before Bucky went to the try-out he ask his father what he though about him going and his father told him his chances were just as good as anyone else to win, then Bucky said then I am going. And at that time and place Bucky Covington’s life took a change. To do something he loved so much was to sing. Covington now is with O-Seven Artist Management who manages Sawyer Brown, and started working with Mark Miller on making his first album. And Lyric Street Records released his debut album in 2007. Covington was invited to join the GAC Country Music Christmas Tour. And on December 14th 2007 at Joyland a country music club in Bradenton Florida is where I seen Bucky Covington for the first time at his meet and great. I just stepped back and watched him with his fans, and how he talked to each and laugh at the funny thing they would say to him, you could see the loved what he was doing. On March 1st 2008, Covington performed at the Murat Theater in Indianapolis Ind. He is on tour with Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley, what a show. Rocky came out to set up his drums and the fans though he was Bucky and the fan go WILD but when the band started to play and Bucky took the stage the fans only got louder. Covington sang ”Back When” “Can’t Walk Out Now.” “Rednecks,” “Don’t Need No,” and the song that brought the fan off their seats was “It’s Good To Be Us.” Covington said ‘How Long:, will be his next single. He sure did show his fans how much he loves country music and them. So look out America Here come you next big American County Music Idol.
