On June 16th, 2008, Converse and Journeys launched the first ever
Get Out of the Garage Music Contest, a contest designed to find amazing, untapped talent in the music community.

The contest was held over a three month period and was a huge success. We received over 5,000 entries from all over the United States. Narrowing down these entries to our 10 favorite songs was not easy. On December 8th, 2008, we announced the winners after several weeks of listening to each entry.

This website is dedicated to the winners of the contest. Please click on the winner's names and you will be directed to their bio, pictures of their band and their winning song.

We are very proud to present the bands and their winning tracks. Enjoy.

Get a limited edition CD of the winning tracks when you purchase $75 or more at Journeys!
