Okee Dokee Bros., Minn. Orchestra up for Grammys

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota duo is up for a Grammy Award Sunday for best children’s album.

Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing are childhood friends who make up the Okee Dokee Brothers, a Minneapolis-based bluegrass band. The friends grew up in Colorado and have been making kid-oriented music since 2005. Their album, “Can You Canoe?” , features acoustic songs inspired by a month-long canoe trip the pair took down the Mississippi River.
