Waka Winter Classic

About Me

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to play in front of thousands of people? Ever imagined rubbing elbows with your musical heroes? Ever considered the possibility that your music might be the next big thing? Well, the chance to transform your dreams into reality has arrived.

The Wakarusa Music Festival will be traveling to 15 cities this winter in a quest to locate the best and brightest musicians the country has to offer. At every stop on the tour several bands will compete in a regional talent showcase. The winner of each talent showcase as decided by the fans in attendance will receive an invitation to play at Wakarusa 2009 in our new location at Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas! But it doesn’t end there. The winners in each city will also have their music featured on our website and will compete in an online talent showcase. The top two bands that receive the most votes in our online competition will get a chance to play the Revival stage at the festival along with a host of other surprises.

Want to take part in one of our talent showcases? All you need to do is submit an Electronic Press Kit at www.sonicbids.com/wakawinterclassic for your home city. If we select you to participate then you could very well be on your way to playing the main stage in front of countless music lovers from across the country.
