Chanteur Country US né William Joel Covington, le 8
Novembre 1977 à
Rockingham (Caroline du Nord).
Rock-influenced country singer Bucky Covington first rose to fame in 2006 as a
contestant on the televised talent hunt American Idol. Covington was born
on November 8th, 1977, in Rockingham, NC, where he grew up along with his twin
brother, Rocky Covington. Bucky was bitten by the music bug after seeing blues
guitarist Jeff Healey in the movie Road House, saying "I remember...picturing
myself on-stage with a pair of sunglasses on, playing guitar and singing, and
thinking, that would be cool." Bucky took up guitar not long after he graduated
from high school, and before long he and Rocky began playing local clubs,
singing and playing guitar with a variety of rock and country bands. Bucky was
interested in taking his career to the next level and was considering a move to
Nashville when Rocky's wife heard that American Idol was holding
auditions in Greensboro, NC, and suggested they should both give it a try. Bucky
and Rocky headed to Greensboro, and Bucky made the cut, becoming one of the 24
aspiring stars who flew to Los Angeles to compete on television. Covington rose
to eighth place finalist on Idol before he was voted off the show, but
that was only the beginning. After appearing on the 2006 "American Idols Live"
tour, where he faced arena-sized audiences for the first time, Covington scored
a record deal and management contract, and landed on another high-profile
package tour when Nashville Star winner Buddy Jewell had to drop out of
the "GAC Country Music Christmas Tour" due to a wrist injury and Covington was
tapped to take his place. After the tour was completed, Covington went into the
studio to cut his self-titled debut album for Lyric Street/Hollywood Records,
with Mark Miller, lead singer for Sawyer
Brown, as producer. Covington's album was released in April 2007, and he
supported the set with extensive touring and plenty of television appearances;
joining Bucky on the road was his brother Rocky, who plays drums in his band.
