Last Year's Finalists
Winning the 2021 IMAs is a massive accomplishment for our band. Card Reader has been put on the map as a result! Now our goals as much bigger and our dreams are within reach. This opportunity has opened new doors for us. We don’t take it for granted. I believe one day we’ll be a signed band on the road living out our dreams. When that day comes we’ll be proud to say it all started when we entered the 2021 Interstate Music Awards.
Tom Petito2021 ima winner
The IMAs are an amazing experience to place in for any musician! Placing second allowed me a global presence that I was able to see via screenshots and messages from people around the world. There's also no feeling like people around your hometown pulling together and rooting for you. From the exposure and the amazingly friendly competition, to the prizes and gigs, there's no beating being a part of the Interstate Music family.
Stephen Hull2021 IMA Finalist
Interstate Music is by far one of the biggest supporters when it comes to getting my music out there. This contest helped further my career, not just by getting my name out there more, but I booked a few gigs from this and had radio stations from all over add my song "Forever Came Today!" Thank you Interstate Music for all of the support! Y'all are very much appreciated!
