"I've been feeling a lot of unsafe love in my life lately. It's just hard to fully trust anything right now," says Laurie Shook. "So I really resonated with the first line "all I want is a love that feels safe" when Katelyn started singing it from the living room in a cabin by a river. I was making breakfast and I stopped and sat down and continued the song because I knew it was going somewhere. It goes on to reach the ones out there that are having a hard time letting go of a love that they had dreamed up in their head. Sometimes, you just have to let go of the dream, and be open to a new one." The EP finds the group strip down from a full band to inherent power of the group's namesake duo-identical twin sisters Katelyn Shook [vocals, guitar] and Laurie Shook[banjo, vocals]. In early 2017, they holed up alone in a room with just two voices and two instruments and cut the seven-song collection live to tape, serving up bare bones renditions of fan favorites, covers, and one new tune.Shook Twins Tour Dates
