The Okee Dokee Brothers at Center for the Arts at George Mason University

Calling all bluegrass and American roots music fans to join around the “campfire” with the
GRAMMY Award-winning duo The Okee Dokee Brothers. Long before the pair won five
Parents’ Choice Awards, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing grew up as childhood friends in
Denver, Colorado, where they enjoyed adventures like rafting down their neighborhood creek
and hiking through the Rocky Mountains. Now, they infuse bluegrass music and playful lyrics
with childhood wonder for the great outdoors, hoping to spark a desire in children to explore
their surroundings and imaginations. “The lyrics are playful, engaging and subtly filled with life
lessons. These are songs that encourage kids to find happiness with fewer material possessions
and embrace adventure even in trying situations” (Chicago Tribune).
