In a Big Warehouse is more than the title of the Imagination Movers' new album of smartly crafted children's pop songs. The Warehouse holds the secret to the Movers themselves.
 
"The Warehouse has always been a metaphor for the human imagination, our ability to dream," says Rich Collins (also known as Imagination Mover Rich), one of the four founding members of the band. "It's a physical representation of the idea that anything is possible."
 
The Movers' own story provides a good example of the power of imagination. In 2003, four New Orleans friends – Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche and Scott "Smitty" Smith – started gathering after their kids' bedtimes to write songs and brainstorm ideas about a children's television show. Two years later, they had become the latest sensation of their musical city, attracting parents and children alike with an eclectic pop sensibility and lyrical turns about healthy snacks and playing catch and conquering childhood fears of bedtime. Lines to the Movers' shows stretched down blocks.
 
When the levees broke after Hurricane Katrina, the far-reaching disaster turned the Movers' world upside down, but it didn't put an end to their dream. Even while band members salvaged their belongings from flooded homes – and Smith reported to his day job as a fire fighter and first responder – they never stopped living according to the Movers' motto: "Reach high, think big, work hard, have fun!"
