MCA Recording Artist Saddles Up in Hunt for Easter Bunny
NASHVILLE, TN (PRWEB) April 3, 2004--Peter Cottontail will have some company when he's hopping down the bunny trail this Easter. MCA Recording artist Buck Howdy, whose debut album Skidaddle!" has critics raving, takes his rootin tootin tunes to the Easter Egg Roll on the South lawn of the White House on April 12th.
Joined by a posse of pickers, Buck gallops to Washington D.C. for the annual event that is one of Americas most unique. In the 1800s, rolling eggs on the Monday after Easter was a tradition observed by many Washington families - including the family that resided at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Believed to have been permanently set as a White House institution by Dolly Madison, the Easter Egg Roll at the mansion has a history that dates back to President Lincoln.
Buck, whose brand of cowboy music and childrens songs go together like a horse and saddle, is a musical flashback to the days of singing cowboys Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Now a new generation of buckaroos are hitchin up to Bucks bandwagon, thanks to a debut CD filled with western classics such as Dont Fence Me In," and Ghost Riders In the Sky;" cowboy versions of oldies-but-goodies like Splish Splash" and The Lion Sleeps Tonight;" and originals such as Born to Ride" and Skidaddle!" which are made to hum on the range.
Cross Roy Rogers, Will Rogers and Mr. Rogers and youve got Buck Howdy,"

Howdy is a wonderful change of pace from the manic programming that leaps out of the small screen at kids today. Hes either the next Roy Rogers or the previous one reincarnated. I cant decide which!" Kenny Curtis, XM Kids.
Sure as shootin, Buck Howdy has been tearing up the entertainment landscape like a Texas twister - from the success of his Cow Pie Radio show, which airs weekly on XM Satellite Radio as well as on over 30 local stations from Alaska to Virginia - to the unprecedented national response to Skidaddle!" the first album of childrens material MCA Nashville has released in its 45 year history.
But despite his busy schedule, Buck will make time to say "Howdy" to the First Family and the thousands of young whippersnappers attending the Easter event where hell be surrounded by other popular kids entertainment icons. But he should be easy to spot - he wears a cowboy hat, not rabbit ears. And Peter Cottontail has nothing to fear - Howdy carries a guitar - not a gun!
