Want some actually good kids music? Imagination Movers to the rescue! –WIRED

Up next in Family Festivities… IMAGINATION MOVERS!

The Imagination Movers’ story is the ultimate example of the power of imagination. In 2002, four New Orleans friends– Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche, and Scott “Smitty” Smith– had an idea.

They thought kids wanted and deserved music that spoke to them, not down to them. So, they started gathering after their kids’ bedtimes to write songs and brainstorm ideas about a children’s television show.

Smash cut – the Movers are celebrating over 22 years of entertaining families; you can watch the 76 episodes of their Emmy-winning “Imagination Movers” TV show on Disney+ or listen to the Movers’ songs, a catalog of more than 250 original compositions, which continue to populate the playlists of families everywhere.

In the last three years, the Movers entered the Top 10 of Billboard’s Kid Albums Chart, received multiple songwriting honors, released a compilation album entitled Coveralls: Songs from the Imagination Movers, featuring indie artists reinterpreting classic Mover songs, and hit virally with their song “Watermelon Meow Meow.”

In 2023, the Boys in Blue performed at Lollapalooza, all across the Mediterranean and Europe, as part of Armed Forces Entertainment and tons of festivals, including Beignet, Abita Fall Fest, and Family Gras. In 2024, the Movers have released two singles, “Ice Cream Sandwich” and “Road Trip”, both of which have landed on editorial playlists from Spotify and Apple Music respectively. Their new album Blue Skies dropped in June.

Imagination Movers is just flat out fun entertainment. Good music and lessons to boot.” — Jeff Sherman, On Milwaukee

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Their high-energy songs are prized by many parents for noncondescending lyrics and music that evokes the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers more than Barney or the Wiggles."

Elizabeth Jensen, The New York Times

Imagination Movers are the U2 of kids music with a big anthemic pop/rock sound, catchy lyrics, & of course, imagination."

Indie Kids Rock

While its focus is on kid-friendly themes, the band makes music that transcends the playpen."

Scott Gargan, Connecticut Post
