Katelyn
& Laurie Shook, identical twin sisters from Sandpoint Idaho, released their
4th studio album ‘WHAT WE DO’ April 8, 2014. The Shook Twins are not widely known and primarily
perform the festival circuit on the west coast.
The twins are known for their unique layering of instrumentation, melding acoustic banjo, guitar,
upright bass, mandolin, and ukulele, with a distinctive use of a looping machine
and the ever present ‘green egg’ (percussion).
All Incorporated with electric creating an eccentric mix of folk, roots,
pop and sometimes ‘Quirky Folk’ music that is catchy, blended with the melodic twin
harmonies for a hypnotic sound they call their own.
The Shook
Twins are refreshing, not the same old thing, they are creative, sound good,
and I want to hear more when I listen to them. They may never be the “Pop”
sensation of the moment, but they certainly are entertaining, and if you dare to
try something new, this may be it.
