Are YOU The Next Taste Of County Hometown Riser?
We have our 5 finalists for the WKDQ Taste of Country Night Hometown Riser competition!
Congrats to these artists who are invited to play their song on 12/21 at Kevin's Backstage Bar and Grill in Evansville before 3 judges with one lucky person/band being named the WKDQ Hometown Riser!
The winner of the WKDQ contest will be featured on Tasteofcountry.com and go against other "Local" champions for the rights to be named the next Taste of County Riser!
The winner will be the centerpiece of a feature article on TasteofCountry.com and will be featured on Taste of Country Nights with Sam Alex, the nationally syndicated radio show broadcast from the heart of Nashville across the United States.
