As childhood friends growing up in Denver, Colorado, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing were always exploring the outdoors. Whether it was rafting down their neighborhood creek or discovering hiking trails through the Rocky Mountains, Joe and Justin were born adventurers. Now, as the GRAMMY® Award-winning Okee Dokee Brothers, their adventurous spirit is at the heart of their Americana Folk music, as they infuse family-style bluegrass music with childhood wonder and passion for the great outdoors!

Featuring witty lyrics, strong musicianship, and a unique folk style, Joe and Justin continue to inspire children and their parents to create their own backyard adventures and ignite their imaginations! The five-time Parents' Choice Award winners have 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." By appealing to the musical needs of the entire family and recognizing that kids deserve quality music, The Okee Dokee Brothers are working full-time to advance the family music genre.
