Enter to win tickets to see Miranda Cosgrove and Greyson Chance at The Mann Music Center on July 22nd

Miranda Cosgrove, the star of Nickelodeon’s hit TV series iCarly tours in support of her new EP, High Maintenance, following her highly successful “Dancing Crazy Tour”.

The actress/singer launched her music career in 2007, when she scored a hit with the theme song to her own TV show. In 2009, her song “Raining Sunshine” landed on the soundtrack for “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. One year later, Miranda released her debut album, Sparks Fly, featuring the hit single “Kissin U” which reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 charts.

In April 2010, then 13-year-old Greyson Chance posted a YouTube clip of himself performing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi”, which became an instant viral sensation viewed by more than 28 million people. Just two weeks later, he was invited to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he chatted confidently with DeGeneres, performed “Paparazzi” and fielded a congratulatory on-air phone call from Gaga herself. At present, he is earning kudos for his original compositions including “Stars” and “Broken Hearts,” which have racked up more than nine million collective views & is expected to release his debut album Hold On “Til The Night this summer according to Billboard. “I want people to be able to feel what I’m feeling when I’m singing,” he says. “That’s what it’s all about for me.”

My kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE “The Movers” and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited they are to see Imagination Movers live in concert on April 10th at The Tower Theatre.

We saw “The Movers” in concert last year when they came to Philadelphia. It was one of the best concerts that I have ever been to! From the moment the Movers took the stage the show was non-stop singing and dancing. Mover Rich and Mover Dave came down off of the stage and worked through the crowd, giving hi-fives to kids..and parents. Hi-fiving mover Rich… I am pretty sure was the highlight of my daughters life.

This year “Neighbor Nina”, Warehouse Mouse and the gang from Choo Choo Soul are joining “The Movers” on tour. It is going to be a great show!

The Movers are Coming! The Imagination Movers.. That’s What I’m Talkin’ Bout’

What would happen if the Beastie Boys collaborated with Mr. Rogers?

The answer is found on the Imagination Movers’ three critically acclaimed indie CDs: “Calling All Movers,” “Good Ideas,” and “Eight Feet” and their first national release “Juice Box Heroes.” Oh and don’t forget they also have an award-winning, grass roots DVD “Stir It Up” to throw in the mix too.

Indeed, the Movers sing about things they know: messy rooms, healthy snacks, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid. Their musical style, however, would sound right at home on a weekly MTV countdown.

The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty — began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and “I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).”

The Movers are a big hit on national satellite radio and Radio Disney, where many of their songs remain in heavy rotation. They have also won a total of 14 national music awards and were named a “Parenting Pick” by Parenting Magazine as far back as May 2005. Even now, an ongoing tour of U.S. cities creates new Movers fans (affectionately known as “Gearheads”) in the wake of every show.

Based largely on the original concept created by the Movers themselves in 2003, Disney Channel debuted a new television series in 2008 featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “Idea Emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and hijinks, Imagination Movers moves kids to exercise their bodies and brains.

Movers motto for everything in life is to “reach high, think big, work hard and have fun!” The Movers themselves are leading by example as they captivate new fans daily with their winning sound and style. ~ imaginationmovers.com/website/about_us.php
