Harmonizing wild hearts with sass and spunk to spare. Angels flying right here on the ground. Ethereal and eclectic, the irrepressible songcrafters make “American Folk Music that twines through your soul the way vines cover an abandoned shack in the woods” (NY Times). Shook Twins have never been sonically confined to the indie-folk world in which they’ve become well-known artists. Always harnessing an adventurous spirit, they incorporate beat boxing, banjo-head drumming, vocals using a re-purposed telephone microphone, and other ambient sources within their arrangements.
Over the course of three full-length releases and a handful of EPs since 2008, they’ve been lauded by the USA Today, Baeble Music, Langhorne Slim, The Lumineers, and Mason Jennings, gigged with the likes of Gregory Alan Isakov, Railroad Earth, and Ani DiFranco, and captivated crowds at High Sierra Music Festival, Lightning In A Bottle, Bumbershoot, Hulaween, Summer Camp Music Festival, Northwest String Summit, and the Joshua Tree Music Festival (Oct ’12 and May ’18) to name a few. Says Steve, “Laurie and Katelyn Shook are beautiful, quirky identical twins all the way from Idaho. They write gorgeous songs and they always make me smile. Not only are they great musicians but they’re even cooler people. I love them and I can’t wait for you to hear them”
