quirky brand of indie folk pop solo, opening for Blitzen Trapper or the
Carolina Chocolate Drops or partaking in side projects like Morning
Ritual with Portland jazz luminary Ben Darwish, people love them to
death. Focusing on variety has certainly helped, especially with regard
to their content.
“We write a lot about the way we live and what we see in our lives,”
says Laurie Shook, who handles percussion and banjo and shares
vocal duties with her sister, Katelyn. “There are definitely some fictional
things too though, like chickens and riding a boat to the market
because it rains so much. We try to draw from all those pools instead of
just sticking to one.”
As their most recent album, 2012’s Window, proves, you never know
what you are going to get from a Shook Twins song. Katelyn is as likely
to bawk like a chicken as Laurie is to beatbox, so there is that. Even
when they write love songs, sometimes the results are like “Long Time,”
which is about, of all things, robot love. But the more atypical the song
is, the more they seem to love playing it.
“We like trying new things and seeing what happens,” Laurie says.
“We like playing music, having a good time and just trying to make
people feel good.”
Shook Twins are performing as part of Grrrlz Rock with The Great
Hiatum, Dale Tumbao Cuban Salsa, Boomchick, Talia Winship, Bridget
Gavin, Riley Estrada, Naomi Ariel and Bounce Gymnastics. Concertgoers
are encouraged to bring nonperishable items to donate to FOOD for
Lane County.
