Shook Twins Trio

Identical twin sisters Katelyn (vocals, guitar) and Laurie Shook (banjo, vocals) found themselves through cosmic design or good old-fashioned magic, writing, recording, and performing as Shook Twins. To their recollection, the pair never hatched a plan or even properly discussed it. It just happened. Hundreds of shows, four albums and 2 EPs later, the duo continue to tread this path. “Neither of us remember a time where we planned things out, it all unfolded naturally,” affirms Katelyn. “We started to play out and call ourselves Shook Twins, because that’s simply who we are.”

Since their 2008 debut You Can Have The Rest, Shook Twins have conjured up dreamy folk with ghostly traces of Americana tradition uplifted by transcendently hummable melodies and lilting cinematic instrumentation. Honing their vision, the group reached a critical and creative high watermark with 2019’s Some Good Lives, which PopMatters called “as affirming as it is magical.” “When you listen to us, we want you to remember how to feel more comfortable in your own skin,” the twins agree. “That goes beyond the show. We hope you walk away feeling more like yourself, because we’re fully ourselves on stage. We’re not shy. We have a sense of humor. We don’t ever take ourselves too seriously. We have fun up there. That’s our message through the music.”
