About the Performance
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, taking long bike rides into the country or discovering hiking trails through the Rocky Mountains, Joe and Justin were born adventurers. Now, as the Grammy-winning Okee Dokee Brothers, they have put this passion for the outdoors at the heart of their musical collaborations.
Winning praise from the likes of The Washington Post and USA Today, the two-time Parents' Choice Award winners perform with delightful and indefatigable optimism, promising unforgettable adventures that spark imagination kids and parents alike. NPR’s All Things Considered writes “[The Okee Dokee Brothers] remind us of the American belief that we're bound for better weather, celebrat[ing] everyday explorers, young and old, who rediscover that notion daily."
Their nationwide fan base is drawn to their witty lyrics, strong musicianship and unique folk style—an uplifting spirit that echoes their lifelong optimism and invites every listener to believe that the next great adventure is just around the bend.
