Born: November 8, 1977 in Rockingham, NC Active In: 2000's
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.
