Imagination Movers

The Imagination Movers are an American children’s band formed in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2003. The line-up includes drummer Rich Collins, keyboardist and mandolin Scott Durbin, bassist Dave Poche, and guitarist Scott "Smitty" Smith. Members of the group were longtime friends and neighbors. 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". Scott Durbin as the progenitor, worked in combination with his other Movers to create a live-action TV show that was a cross between Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and Captain Kangaroo, the foursome worked every night after bedtime, from 9 PM to midnight, to write songs and develop TV show plot lines. Rich Collins went on to create a production company, Refugee Productions, by 2011.
