The Okee Dokee Brothers are a Grammy-winning, Americana/
bluegrass/American roots children's music duo from Minneapolis.
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 or discovering hiking trails through the Rocky Mountains,
Joe & Justin were born adventurers. Now, as the Grammywinning Okee Dokee Brothers, they have put this passion for the
outdoors at the heart of their Americana Folk music. Their music
inspires you to get outside and experience nature.

In support of their new album, we are pleased to welcome this
collaboration between three phenomenal, self-driven artists:
avant-rock icon Neko Case, legendary musical nomad k.d. lang,
and indie folk star Laura Veirs. Full of stunning harmonies and
spellbinding rhythms, case/lang/veirs travels through aches
and eras, torch songs and tributes to the undersung. "The
combination of spirits, the combination of artistry, is very
unique, because we have definite similarities, but we are very,
very different, and it creates a really interesting thing," says
lang. "It's a truly collaborative record where our individual
essences are firmly in place."

Over the course of 10 albums and nearly 3,000 live shows,
Gaelic Storm - the chart-topping, multi-national Celtic band is dishing up a hearty serving of Full Irish - The Best of Gaelic
Storm. The latest album spans the bulk of the band's career,
mixing crowd favorites and concert staples with three
previously unreleased recordings, including "Whiskey in the
Jar" and "Irish Party in Third Class" from Titanic. Full Irish
is the band's fifth consecutive #1 Billboard World Album.
Regularly playing more than 120 shows a year, Gaelic Storm
has built a loyal following for their cross between traditional
Irish music and harder-edged Celtic rock.
