The eighth-place finalist in the 2006 season of American Idol will appear in concert in the Indiana Theatre at 683 Ohio St., theater owner Roger Aleshire confirmed this afternoon, April 2.
“It’s in the works, yes,” Aleshire said, “Bucky is coming … but the rest of the show is still being finalized.” Other acts as well as ticket information should be available next week, he added.
Covington’s hit singles, “A Different World” and “It’s Good to Be Us,” from his self-titled freshman album also are featured music videos on Country Music Television and CMT.com.
