Acoustic / Folk / Progressive – Portland, Oregon.
Shook Twins are not your average folk duo. The sisters, Laurie and Katelyn, have some tricks up their sleeves. You wouldn’t expect a small town girl from North Idaho (Sandpoint) to drop a beatbox in the middle of a song. One plays the guitar, glockenspiel, mandolin, and sings into a telephone and bocks like a chicken, and the other plays wah-wah Banjo and loops various melodies and beats to make it sound like more than just two identical twin sisters. Together they sing in twin harmony, which is a whole different experience from non-twin harmony. Their sound was sculpted from the artists who inspire them most such as: The Beatles, Ani Difranco, Joni Mitchell, Feist and Bjork. They bring an exciting, lighthearted, and refreshing energy to the stage. “Shook Twins are great. Harmonies and songs that feel entwined with the mountains of Idaho. A unique, personal music that lights up the stage with its joy and enthusiasm.” (Mason Jennings)
