Grammy award winners, the Okee Dokee Brothers on MinneCulture, Wed, Feb 13 at 7:30pm

February 13, 2013
Last Sunday night, the Okee Dokee Brothers won a Grammy for Best Children's Album for their 2012 release, "Can You Canoe?" Inspired by nature, the local duo entertains children and adults with messages about environmental stewardship. In tonight's encore presentation, MinneCulture presents "Rediscovering the Mississippi River"--an audio documentary by Flor and Peter Frey that features music by the Okee Dokee Brothers. Learn about the Mighty Miss--dubbed "messippi" by the Ojibwe Indians--which begins at Itasca State Park in Northern Minnesota and flows into the Gulf of Mexico from Louisiana. Covering more than 2,000 miles in 31 states, the Mississippi River has been the creative inspiration for American legends, folklore, and literature, including the Okee Dokee Brothers.
