They started with the four members seeing a need to encourage creativity in children, provide positive male role models, and create music and content that "spoke to them, not down to them.

[3] 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.

[5][6][7] Moreover, Kids Place Live put many of the Movers early catalog into heavy rotation, further increasing the bands national audience.

The resulting floodwater claimed the band's office and the homes and jobs of Collins, Durbin, and Poche – but the deal was signed in the spring of 2006.

Traveling from mid-October to mid-December 2009 their live performances include many of their favorite songs and dancing, as well as video appearances of Warehouse Mouse.

[17] The success of the tour led the Movers to grace the cover of Pollstar, a professional trade publication for the concert and live music industry.

[18] Beginning in early February 2011 and wrapping up in late May 2011, the Imagination Movers presented their In a Big Warehouse Concert Tour, playing more than 100 shows in 50+ cities across North America.

[24] In May 2014, Disney Junior Canada presented the Imagination Movers Live in Concert Tour with special guest Warehouse Mouse.

The tour covered seventeen Canadian cities, starting September 13 in Victoria, BC, and ending in Glace Bay, NS, on October 2, with most of the dates selling out.

[25][26] The tour featured the Movers performing songs from their hit Disney Junior series and their chart-topping album Back In Blue, which debuted as the No.

9 Story teamed with the band on a concept called Super Movers, a fresh new animated/hybrid program geared towards children ages 4 to 7 years old, bursting with comedy, adventure, and music.

[34] The compilation of artists includes indie-pop groups Royal Teeth and GIVERS, ska band Mustard Plug, the Brooklyn-based alt band Laundry Day, Canadian shimmer pop Soul Push, surf rockers One South Lark +The Durbulence, along with the rootsy, Celtic-influenced sounds of Carbon Leaf.

During the set, the Movers performed many of their hits along with covers of popular songs from Beastie Boys, Five Seconds of Summer, The Killers, and Harry Styles, to name a few.

[37] Summer Campers marked the third single release, bowing on May 10, 2024, and was one of three songs that achieved Number One hits on Kids.Radio, a popular app and streaming service.

[39] Music videos from the album can be seen on YouTube and include Jet Packs, Duck Race, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Road Trip.

Originally from Silver Spring, Maryland, Collins graduated from The Catholic University of America and relocated to New Orleans in the early 1990s to form a rock band, Dubly.

[42] The initial inspiration for Imagination Movers came from Durbin in 2002, who wanted to create a local live action kids show that presented strong male role models for children.

Durbin was inspired by the likes of Captain Kangaroo and Fred Rogers as well as the musical stylings of The Police and De La Soul.

Before the formation of the Movers, Durbin received his undergraduate degree in religious studies from Centenary College of Louisiana and his graduate teaching certification from the University of New Orleans.

In the Idea Warehouse, Durbin, who plays the mandolin, keyboards, and melodica on the show, also wears "Wobble Goggles", which allow him to see things from a variety of perspectives.

An active father, he has taken time from his busy schedule to serve as a Cub Scout den Akela as well as a coach for his children's T-ball, basketball, and soccer teams.

While he has no formal theatrical or musical training, Poche did fiddle with the bass briefly in college and has a colorful performance background that includes a stint as a stand-up comic.

[51] Like his fellow Movers, he is inspired by 1980s and '90s rock, pop and alternative music and by his front-lines experience dealing with issues his children experienced.

Originally from Baton Rouge, Poche received his degree from Louisiana State University and moved to his wife's hometown of New Orleans.

Guitarist for the Movers, Smith is the adventurous outdoorsman of the group; growing up in Southern Louisiana, he hunted and fished every weekend as a child, and continues to do so in his spare time.

Smith brings his outdoor experiences to the group by blowing duck and goose calls on some of the band's songs, including "I Heard That".
