The Okee Dokee Brothers at The Freight

Grammy-Winning Folk & Roots Music for Families

As childhood friends growing up outside of Denver, Colorado, Justin Lansing and Joe Mailander were always exploring the outdoors. Now, as the Grammy-award-winning Okee Dokee Brothers, 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.
