FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey is proud to announce its third annual Battle of the Bands Contest, which kicked off January 1st. As with previous years, bands will be encouraged to upload their songs to the Buffalo Trace Saloon online jukebox and earn "Shots" (votes) from Saloon users. The contest can be accessed both in the Saloon and through Facebook.
For this year's contest, the grand prize winner will receive $10,000 - twice the amount of previous years. The ultimate winner will also be decided using a new format. The top vote getters of each month through August will receive $500 and a spot in the eight band finals taking place in September. Last year's grand prize winner was the country and southern rock outfit Buffalo Head from Indianapolis.
"We love whiskey and music," said Bourbon Brand Manager Kris Comstock. "We upped the grand prize and made it a winner-takes-all format in the final month. We're excited to see the monthly winners battle it out in the end and claim their spot at the top."
