2011 National Book Festival

As childhood best friends, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing dreamed of being professional singer-songwriters. Then, one day (poof!) they were all grown up and playing their music on the scene. Inspired by their own backyard adventures, the Okee Dokee Brothers perform original music that reminds audiences of their own make-believes and treehouse-pretendings. Their CD, "Take It Outside," and their live shows can transport you to the wilds of Africa, to the tip-top of a gigantic rollercoaster, or down the Mississippi on a homemade raft.
