Shook Twins brought their country style from Idaho to Portland and turned it into a bigger, more contemporary sound. They now have a full lineup to complete what once was an identical twin duo of a an acoustic guitar and banjo player to include a vast range of instrumentation including an upright bass, mandolin, face drums and a large golden egg that is used for percussions. The elements of bluegrass set the backdrop while they sing cleanly along to a wahhed out guitar. Shook Twins have an incredible ability to draw in an audience as each song tells a story and their laid back persona makes the show personable, danceable, and fun. After a hefty touring schedule, they have made their way back to Portland for an eclectic evening at the Wonder Ballroom this Friday night with supporting acts Bike Thief and Lost Lander. – Colin Hudson
