Bucky Covington

American Idol Finalist Bucky Covington has always had a knack for feeling the song and passing on that emotion to an audience with sparkling tone. From his humble beginnings on his local club circuit, to impressing millions with his talent and charisma on Idol, the country crooner has been convincing his audiences with his honest vocal quality. It is a quality that turned Covington's Idol experience into a career. Sawyer Brown frontman and producer Mark Miller approached Bucky the day after his final appearance on Idol. Miller had been surprised by how he sincerely "believed him" when Bucky sang. Their collaboration led the 29-year-old North Carolina singer to a deal on Lyric Street Records and a debut single, "A Different World," that is taking him to the country charts and airwaves. He has quickly become one of the most energetic and compelling entertainers in country music. The crowds he's faced since leaving Idol have been over-the-top enthusiastic. Bucky is being careful to leaven that enthusiasm with the believability that so impressed Miller, tying it into his very approach to music. Now, with the release of his debut single and album, America will get to witness the next step in Bucky Covington's emergence as one of country's most genuine and exciting young performers.
