The Wakarusa Music Festival has announced the details for its 2013 Waka Winter Classic. The event will once again make its way across the South and Midwest where several bands will compete in a talent showcase each night. The fans in attendance will decide which group is best, and the winner will receive an invitation to play Wakarusa 2013, as well as a cash prize on the night of the show. The Waka Winter Classic will kick off at Cervantes’ Other Side in Denver on January 10 before making its way through a number of cities before a final stop at the New Earth Music Hall in Athens, GA on February 16.
