The Okee Dokee Brothers, Justin Lansing and Joe Mailander, won the 2013 GRAMMY award for their first Adventure Album, Can You Canoe?, and they just received a GRAMMY Award nomination for their new Cd-DVd, Through the Woods. This traveling duo and special guests perform an interactive hootenanny of bluegrassy songs for all ages. Lansing and Mailander are lifelong friends who enjoy outdoors adventures as much as they like making music. They draw inspiration from their experiences while providing a creative framework for the audience to explore their own imaginations. "We hope to inspire kids to take an active role in their lives, get outside and make their dreams realities," they say.
