Friday at 2, join us for a JPR Live Session with Shook Twins. They have been with us several other times and have become favorites of the hosts of Open Air. We're excited to have them back in the studio.
Identical twins Laurie and Katelyn Shook grew up in Sandpoint, Idaho and became a vital part of the Portland, Oregon folk scene dating back now roughly 15 years. Their resume includes multiple Shook Twins albums and guest appearances and collaborations with John Craigie, Anna Moss, and Bart Budwig among others. Laurie and Katelyn also organized an all female act for the Northwest String Summit called Sideboob that originally played on a small stage featuring Mimi Naja of Fruition and Allie Kral of Yonder Mountain String Band, but has expanded and become a favorite at festivals and occasionally goes on tour.
Since the pandemic, they have slowed down what had become a heavy touring and recording schedule opting to take some time away from each other but still perform together with their band and in various side projects.
They just released a brand new single, Hand Up.
Shook Twins are performing Friday night at The Historic Ashland Armory with the Portland band Glitterfox. Tickets and information are available at Ashland Folk Collective website.
