Season 5 American Idol finalist Bucky Covington has made a name for himself as one of country music's most genuine and exciting entertainers. This month, Bucky will perform his first hometown concert since competing on Idol as a way to give back to the community that has supported him along the way.

Returning to his hometown of Rockingham, North Carolina on September 25th, Bucky will take part in the Backpack Pals outreach program. On September 26th, he will give a free concert in Harrington Square. Concert attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item or canned good to the concert for donation to Backpack Pals and the local food bank, Our Daily Bread. Requested food donations include items a child could easily open and prepare for themselves such as soup, fruit cups, cereal bars, pop tarts, pudding cups and juice boxes.
