Pine Creek hosts Shook Twins, other shows ahead of busy summer calendar
Pine Creek Lodge brings Portland-based Shook Twins to its modern-rustic, mountainside space with a one-night-only performance on Friday, May 17th at 8pm. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 day of show, based on availability.
The indie folk-pop band is fronted by identical twins, Katelyn and Laurie, who serve as the main songwriters. Central to Shook Twins’ sound is their wide range of instrumentation: banjo, acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, mandolin, electronic drums, face drum (beat-box), glockenspiel, ukulele, banjo-head drumming and their signature Golden Egg. Beautiful twin harmonies, layered upon acoustic and electric instrumentation – coupled with Laurie’s inventive use of percussive and ambient vocal loops, and Katelyn’s re-purposed telephone microphone – set their sound apart, creating a unique and eccentric blend of folk, roots, groove and soul. Their new album, Some Good Lives, released early this year.
Following on Friday, May 24th, a special Girl Guitar Jam will feature talented ladies from near and far – and their guitars. Beginning at 6pm, come enjoy the sounds of Mandy Rowden, Quenby, Heather Lingle and Marcedes Carroll. This is a FREE show.
