More on Imagination Movers
Description from Wikipedia:
Imagination Movers is an American children's music group formed in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2003. The lineup includes Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche, and Scott "Smitty" Smith. Members of the group were longtime friends and neighbors.
The group started as a television/music concept which was pitched to local PBS affiliates in New Orleans. WLAE-TV was the first to take an interest in the group and later introduced them to Beth Courtney, the President & Chief Executive Officer at Louisiana Public Broadcasting. Soon after, LPB began airing one-minute videos produced by the Imagination Movers themselves.
The Movers built a sizable regional following by setting educational songs for kids to melodies and rhythms that adults appreciate as well. They sold more than 30,000 copies of their self-produced CDs and DVDs, plus a large inventory of T-shirts and other gear. Their three indie CDs: "Good Ideas," "Calling All Movers," and "Eight Feet" along with their grass roots DVD "Stir It Up" have combined to win fourteen national awards, from such prestigious groups as the National Association of Parenting Publications (NAPPA) and Parents' Choice.
In 2005, Disney took notice, and initiated a long, complex negotiation to add the Movers to the company's roster.
Hurricane Katrina interrupted negotiations with Disney-- floodwaters claimed the band's office, as well as the homes of Collins, Durbin and Poche -- but the deal was signed in the spring of 2006.
March 18, 2008 Walt Disney Records introduced the Imagination Movers' music to the nation with the release of the Movers first nationally-released CD, "Juice Box Heroes."
In September 2008, a 30-minute show featuring the group began airing on the Disney Channel's preschool programming block known as Playhouse Disney.
