Author: The Minnesota-based The Okee Dokee Brothers and others have declined their Grammy nomination this year over lack of diversity. The group is among four others nominated for Best Children's Album. In a post on Facebook this week, the Okee Dokee Brothers said all of the nominees are white and all but one are male. The Okee Dokee Brothers said they along with Alastair Moock and Dog on Fleas sent a letter to the Recording Academy declining their nominations and asking their names be removed from the ballot and the academy not vote for them.
