Nashville, TN…(February 26, 2015)… Country Star and American Idol Finalist Bucky Covington will be appearing on an episode of the daytime medical talk show The Doctors tomorrow, Friday February 27th, with his family to raise awareness about a cause that is very close to their hearts: the use of a heart medication to help with a rare form of birthmark requiring treatment. Bucky’s infant daughter Kennedy was diagnosed with Infantile Hemangiomas at 3 weeks old. After conferring with specialists, Bucky and fiancé Katherine decided that the best choice for their daughter would be to start a treatment process to reverse the advancing of the birthmark preventing permanent damage to the skin.

SINGLE REVIEW: "BUZZIN" - BUCKY COVINGTON

SINGLE: "Buzzin'"
ARTIST: Bucky Covington
REVIEWER: Han Van Meegerin
Follow Han on Twitter at @HanVanMeegerin

After a winter season that had much of the country shivering from the cold and digging out from the snow, there is no excuse to sing “there ain't no cure for the summer time blues.” Bucky Covington  has the cure. It is called “Buzzin'” on summer time. Now this song that should warm even the coldest of misers.

"Buzzin"' is Covington's debut single off his first independently produced project. Given that Independence Day is celebrated on July 4, smack dab in the middle of summer, I think Covington's "Buzzin'" is a more than fitting celebration of both independence and summer.

Though not in proper order, let's all take Bucky's summer advice. Let's sip on some sunshine each of the seven days a week and hope it never ends. Hopefully, this will drive up our heat wave and produce new found love on the vine.

It's your summer. The question is, are you going to be buzzin'?

Get your summer buzz on and download "Buzzin" on iTunes and Amazon. Be sure to leave a review and tell people what you think of Bucky's new single!

BUCKY COVINGTON RECEIVES RAVE REVIEWS FOR HIS SOPHOMORE ALBUM ‘GOOD GUYS’

Nashville, TN…(September 17, 2012)…Fans were finally able to quench their thirst for new music from Bucky Covington last week with the release of his long-awaited sophomore album GOOD GUYS on September 11, 2012. Here’s what some of the nation’s toughest critics are saying about the record:

COUNTRY WEEKLY ★★★★

“ He is as adept at the beautifully written heartbreak ballad…as he is on the rambunctious…”

GAC:

“a solid collection that serves as an important step for the young artist.”

NEW YORK TIMES

“…a testament to his vocal charm…”

ROUGHSTOCK

“Good Guys is Bucky Covington doing what he does best. He’s an emotive, effervescent vocalist with a winning personality and that personality and emotion is shown in abundance throughout the album.”

Bucky will donate a portion of the proceeds from the first week sales of Good Guys to benefit Help The Good Guys and The International Association of Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation. His work with the organization was recently highlighted on CNN’s Impact Your World.  

JUST A REMINDER ABOUT BUCKY COVINGTON'S SEPTEMBER 11 CD RELEASE OF "GOOD GUYS"

Just reminding y'all that Bucky Covington is preparing to release his long-awaited sophomore album GOOD GUYS on September 11, 2012. He and Shooter Jennings kick ass in the new duet “Drinking Side Of Country” and Bucky's friends Kellie Pickler, X-Games medalist Kenny Bartram and TNA wrestler Mickie James have cameos in the new video.  The video had an amazing debut, with more than 800,000 views within a 24-hour period and the numbers are climbing daily. These stats make the clip #1 on YouTube’s “Popular Around The Web” music chart and one of the Top Trending Videos overall.

Over the last year, Bucky has been working closely with a cause he deeply believes in, Help The Good Guys and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Charitable Foundation which support injured firefighters and burn victims. In the fall of 2011, Bucky dropped what we was doing and traveled on a minute's notice to Birmingham to take part in a fundraiser for injured fire fighter Brad Dean. Enough money was raised to allow the family to keep their house and decrease accumulating debt and medical bills. When Bucky saw firsthand how fire fighters risk everything to save others but don’t have anyone there for them when they're the victims, he was compelled to help. He continues to actively support the cause through fundraisers and hospital visits. Proceeds from the first week sales of his new record will be donated to the IAFF Charitable Fund.

Bucky’s new 12-song cd, GOOD GUYS, includes the raucous duet with Shooter Jennings, which Bucky co-wrote and produced. Other favorites include “Hold A Woman” and “Mama Must Be Prayin’.” Stay tuned for purchase information coming soon!
