Shook Twins

About

Shook Twins is the indie folk project of twin sisters Katelyn and Laurie Shook. Born and raised in Idaho and based in Portland, the duo utilizes a vast instrumental repertoire including mandolin, banjo, glockenspiel, upright base and djembe to construct a pop-infused brand of modern folk. Along with Kyle Volkman and Niko Daoussis, who complete the band, Shook Twins released its debut album You Can Have the Rest, in 2008. The group has since found a niche following in Portland and beyond, with its infectious vocals and off-kilter instrumentation at the heart of its music.
