"...The hypnotic song "Wild Fire" opens "You Can Have the Rest" impressively with an ominous exotic cello sound and brings in a Native American flute riff that practically pulls you into the desert at dusk for a harmonic convergence. Like the rest of the album, the instrumentation and production is impeccable, and the sisters' voices blend and braid with amazing clarity and depth, their guitars percolate brightly, and the intensity builds to incendiary proportions with layers of percussion gradually added to the mix." -Patrick Jacobs (Spokesman Review)

The Shook Twins are identical twin sisters, Katelyn and Laurie, who have been singing together since the womb. They have been playing live shows since the beginning of 2005 and have progressed in their performance immensely. Over the last two years they have performed nearly every weekend in coffee shops, festivals and theaters, and recorded two studio albums and a live album. And after only a year of performing live, The Shook Twins landed a gig as an opening act for Ryan Adams at the Festival at Sandpoint.

Laurie adds a unique "backbone beat" to their live show with her beatboxing and looping. They are known for their chilling vocal harmonies. Their organic, progressive folk sound will make you relax and dance all at once.

Their main influences are Ani Difranco, Fionn Regan, Bob Dylan, Bjork, Iron and Wine, The Beatles, and Joni Mitchell. Shook Twins have also performed with bands such as: Mason Jennings, Johnatha Brooks, Michelle Shocked, JJ Gray and MoFro, Soul Asylum, The Bodeans, Frame of Mind, Equaleyes, Elephant Revival, Taarka, Kaylee Cole, Karli Fairbanks, Joel Smith, Josh Hedlund, as well as many more amazing regional bands.
