September 6, 2007 — Country music's two best-selling new male artists of 2007, Bucky Covington and Jason Michael Carroll, are teaming up for the Raisin' the Bar tour with special guest Cole Deggs & the Lonesome.
Beginning October 25 in Corpus Christi, the Raisin' the Bar tour will span 19 dates from Texas to New York before wrapping December 8 in Baltimore.
Bucky & Jason have been "raising the bar" for new male artists as they've emerged with smash singles, chart-topping albums, and a level of success that hasn't been achieved by debut country males in years.
Jason's album, Waitin' in the Country, entered Billboard's country albums chart at No. 1, and he launched back-to-back hits with the Top 5 "Alyssa Lies" and the current "Livin' Our Love Song." Written by Jason, "Alyssa Lies" made music history, entering Billboard's digital chart with the highest first-week sales of any debut country artist since the inception of the chart. He recently finished a string of dates opening for Brooks & Dunn and Alan Jackson.
Bucky Covington is 2007's best-selling debut country artist. His self-titled CD opened at No. 1 on Billboard's country albums chart with 2007's biggest unit debut from a new country artist as well as the best first week sales and highest Top 200 debut for any new male country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. His new single "It's Good to Be Us" just hit country radio on the heels of his Top 5 first single "A Different World."
Cole Deggs & the Lonesome recently released their self-titled debut album, which includes their first hit, "I Got More," and their new single, "Girl Next Door."
