Myrtle Beach and Bucky Covington

I had an awesome weekend this past week. I went to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina for Bucky Covington's concert at the House of Blues. (It was on his birthday) For those of you that do not know who Bucky Covington is, you should check him out. Bucky was the eighth top finalist on Season 5 of American Idol and parlayed that experience into a successful career in country music/southern rock (and has improved tremendously since his stint on AI). Now, don't let the word "country" turn you off if that isn't your bag -- you will be surprised to learn that country isn't what country was. (Did you know that Bon Jovi, Kid Rock, The Eagles, and Sebastian Bach of Skid Row are all now in that genre? Hey, even Snoop Dog and Bobby Brown have made country music in the last few years.)
Check, Check, Check it out :)

So, Bucky Covington has broken records and received awards already since his debut as a recording artist in 2007. Check out Bucky's myspace or search him on youtube. You should even check out his official site or his myspace for more info.

If Bucky is appearing in your area, you should get out of your comfort zone and actually take the opportunity to experience his show, you will leave the concert having the time of your life. Not only is he energetic and puts his heart and soul into each performance (and his band is awesome as well!), but Bucky will make sure to get you laughing and totally enjoying yourself. He may be a performer, but he is no put-on. Bucky is a genuine guy with no airs about him. What you see is what you get--someone you can relate to. (Ok, so I know you aren't supposed to end a sentence with a preposition, but this my blog, so there ya go)

Bucky and his band mates, which include his twin Rocky, blew the roof off the Myrtle Beach House of Blues on Saturday, November 8, 2008. This was the best performance of his that I have seen to date (trust me, I have seen MANY). Bucky was firing on all cylinders and the band was right there with him every inch of the way. The house was packed and, even though many people had never seen Bucky perform before or even knew who he was, he greatly impressed the crowd.


Keep your eyes and ears open for Bucky Covington. Besides his self-titled CD, he has a featured song on EA Sports' video game "NASCAR 08" and on the "Country Does Disney" CD. Take note, Bucky is also in the new Hannah Montana movie soon to be released. Do a little google search and you will be reading and watching for hours -- he is ALL over the internet.

Well, I hear my pillow calling my name so it's time to hit the sack.
So, g'night all.
