The first time Nancy Kanter, Senior Vice President of Playhouse Disney Worldwide, saw the Imagination Movers perform at Jazz... Fest in New Orleans, she knew she was witnessing something special. "It was amazing," she remembered. "The tent was filled, everybody was up and dancing and singing – moms, dads, grandmas, kids. There was a line of little girls at the front of the stage – preschool groupies – jumping up and down screaming 'Scott! Rich! Smitty! Dave!'"
Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche and Scott "Smitty" Smith are the New Orleans-based Imagination Movers, an alternative rock band for preschoolers and the next big thing to hit Disney Channel in their new Playhouse Disney series of the same name. Though their catchy tunes are expressly written for kids, they strive to make their music equally as enjoyable for parents. Collaboratively written by the four guys, the music covers a variety of genres including old funk, new wave, punk, country, ballads, hip hop, American rock and more, with each Mover bringing his own musical sensibility to the table.
While the Movers are now on the cusp of achieving national recognition with their series and albums, the four band members and close friends, three of whom are dads to young kids, have had their share of obstacles, most notably, surviving Hurricane Katrina.
