The Okee Dokee Brothers

Description

“The Okee Dokee Brothers are an absolute national treasure. These songs are just what the world needs right now.” – Minnesota Parent Field Hall welcomes you and your family to enjoy an evening of GRAMMY-winning folk and roots music as performed by the infectiously positive duo, The Okee Dokee Brothers. As childhood friends growing up outside of Denver, Colorado, Justin Lansing and Joe Mailander were always exploring the outdoors. They channeled their adventurous nature into their wildly popular albums – Can You Canoe?, Through The Woods, Saddle Up, Winterland, and Songs For Singin’ – and ended up in the hearts of American families everywhere. They’ve inspired countless, plaid-shirted fans to get outside, get creative, and sing in harmony along the way. Their most recent effort, Brambletown, is a full-length feature now available on PBS Kids that wanders deep into the forest of imagination and features the cut-paper animation of Eric Power. Joe and Justin spent time writing songs about a community of critters who are grappling with disconnection and restoring interconnection through the healing power of nature. Their gorgeous melodies and unfussy lyrics ease listeners through these woods on a path that is both ancient and reborn. The five-time Parents’ Choice Award winners have been celebrated by Outside Magazine, garnered praise from the likes of NPR’s All Things Considered and USA Today, and have been called “two of family music’s best songwriters.”
