After releasing his debut album in 2007 via Lyric Street Records and finding immediate success through that partnership with hits like “A Different World,” “It’s Good To Be Us” and “I’ll Walk,” Bucky followed up with a few tunes mid-level hits like “I Want My Life Back” and “A Father’s Love (The Only Way He Knew How),” both in the last two years before his label suddenly closed and left him without a recording contract.

Taking time in 2011 to record his anticipated sophomore album and to play some of those songs and his hits for fans nationwide, Bucky Covington announced today that he has signed a new record deal with Entertainment One Nashville (eOne), becoming the flagship artist for the label’s launch of their Nashville-based label.

 “From the first time I met Bucky a couple of years ago I’ve been very impressed with not only his great music but also his engaging personality and love of performing for country music fans,” shares Entertainment One Nashville Vice-President Van Fletcher. "We are really enjoying working with Bucky Covington and his management team on his sophomore release in 2012 for Entertainment One Nashville.“

"We are very excited to welcome Bucky Covington to our Entertainment One Film, TV, and Music family,” adds Entertainment One Nashville President Mike Olsen. “We are already having great success this year at eOne and adding Bucky to our roster is a wonderful indicator for 2012 and beyond."

"After getting to know everyone at eOne, they are a perfect fit for me.  Being a part of eOne is such a great opportunity, and I truly believe it will be a winning combination. I love these guys!” declares Bucky. “I am very excited and can’t wait to get the party started and share my new music with my fans."

Bucky’s first single for the label will be released later this year with his first album for eOne due to be released in early 2012.
