As childhood friends growing up in Denver, Colorado, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing were always exploring the outdoors. Now, as the Okee Dokee Brothers, they have put this passion for nature at the heart of their Americana folk music and their ambitious Adventure Album Series.
In May of 2013, The Okee Dokee Brothers embarked on their second adventure a month-long trek on the Appalachian Trail. They camped, hiked, met mountain musicians, and wrote the songs that make up their CD/DVD for kids and families titled, Through the Woods. As a follow-up to their Grammy Award winning album, Can You Canoe?, the new record invites listeners along for a journey full of camping, old-time mountain music, and many miles of hiking!
Joe and Justin record and perform their family music with the goal to inspire children and their parents to get outside and experience nature. They believe projects like this can motivate kids to gain a greater respect for the natural world, their communities, and themselves.
