“[The Okee Dokee Brothers] remind us of the American belief that we’re bound for better weather. Their album [Can You Canoe?] celebrates everyday explorers, young and old, who rediscover that notion daily”

"[Brambletown] is an exceptional film that touches on serious topics with ease, light, and, most importantly, hope."

"Brambletown isn’t just a whimsical woodland filled with adorable critters. It’s also an album that holds a mirror to our world and ourselves and approaches it through a realistic lens. It tackles broad issues like environmentalism, while also zooming into personal matters, spotlighting a vulnerability and openness rare in children’s music."

“These Grammy Award-winning artists, who specialize in folk music and Americana, sing of cold-weather joys. …in addition to extolling the fun of ice fishing, dog sledding and encountering a friendly yeti, the songs on Winterland deal with more serious subjects, like life cycles and tolerance.”

“If you’ve already burned through every Kidz Bop CD known to man and you want something a little more pleasing to your ears, Grammy-winning duo The Okee Dokee Brothers are coming to the rescue.”

“Listening to an Okee Dokee Brothers album feels like stumbling out of the woods and finding some old friends strumming instruments around a campfire…Each album has at least one song that makes me cry and another that makes me laugh out loud.”

“[Through the Woods] is at times moving, at times raucous, and always rooted in a simultaneous respect for the natural world and the rich musical traditions of Appalachian mountain music.”

“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. Without getting preachy or heavy-handed, Mailander and Lansing come off like happy, kind and fun big brothers eager to show their younger siblings how to have an ethically sound and green-conscious good time.”

“The Okee Dokee Brothers are an absolute national treasure. These songs are just what the world needs right now.”
