CELEBRATE THE STORM

Verse 1 – Luka Lesson
This is for my people who celebrate the storm
Cross borders and ignore 
Whenever they are warned

This is for my people who climb up the mountains
Never caught lounging
Who light up their lanterns

This is for my people who have fought and won
For the fallen ones
And for those who have just begun

This is for journeyers 
Pilgrims on the path
Forgetting the past 
Finding diamonds in the dark

Chorus
You don’t know when you will die
So celebrate tonight
You don’t know when light will dawn
So celebrate the storm

Verse 2 – Nahko Bear

This is for my people who are lying in their graves
This for my people who were buried there today
This is for the wolf clan 
Bear clan
Sand man
Wing Nation
Every beautiful relation
This is for the gatekeepers
Guardians and Angels
Displaced
Culturally appropriated people
This is for the old growth
Fresh-water rivers
Thunder bring us light 
To bring us closer to the spirit

Verse 3 - Luka
This is for the kids who can't even write a sentence
But police still try to get sentenced

This is for the poets and writers
Those that inspire us
Warriors of the mind
Fighting between the lines

This is for those who know the truth in their hearts
And believe it even when the world tears it apart

This is for the migrants who come in on the tides
The stars that inspire them
To leave their lives behind them

This is for the citizens
First Nations Indigenous
My respect for you is just limitless

This is for critics who said I shouldn’t dream
I know you only hate me cause you know you can’t believe

This is for the party people
Friday night relief
For the DJs who play it loud
Just to bring us peace

This is for my people who dance to this rhythm
Just to get the energy to fight the system

Chorus

In memory of our hero David Bowie, we are offering a free download of this Yonder Mountain  String Band cover from our New Year's Eve shows. 

"David Bowie, the infinitely changeable, fiercely forward-looking songwriter who taught generations of musicians about the power of drama, images and personas, died on Sunday, two days after his 69th birthday."

A COLLABORATION WITH @dirtwire

This song was created by me and my good friends Dirtwire. The idea came to us to do a song together because we were about to go out on a major tour together and thought it would be fun to do a collaboration. The song is really about strength and power in unity. During these crazy divisive times, it's important for us to remember that we are all in this together and that no progress will be made unless we move forward as one people. We hope this song inspires unity amongst listeners.

Trevor Hall - Strength In One (ft. Dirtwire)

Trevor Hall, huge inspiration for me.. bringing the words and awareness of the ancients.. and presenting them in a new paradigm way. Allowing the healing of many hearts.

" She who rides the lion, rides my beating heart. Darker than my darkness and brighter than my spark. She takes all of my troubles and throws them in her flames. All my pain and pleasure.. everythings the same"

Original Track is "My Beating Heart", found on Trevor's "This is Blue" Album

Song: Put Down What You Are Carrying by Trevor Hall feat. Brett Dennen
Listen here: https://fanlink.to/PutDownWhatYouAreCarrying

Lyrics:
Don't you go to war with yourself
I heard it come through the rain
Don't you go to war with yourself
How you gonna hold all that pain
Let go, let go, let go
Put all of it out of your mind
I know, you know, we know
It's time to 

(Chorus X2)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

(Brett Dennen)
Don't you go to war with yourself
It don't look good on you
Don't you go to war with yourself
You got other things to do now
Let go, let go, let go
Of everything holding you down
I know, you know, we know
The time is now

(Chorus X2)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

You better lay down your arms
You better lay down your arms
You better lay down your fears
You better lay down your fears
Don't you do yourself that harm
Don't you cry yourself those tears
No fear, yeah

(Chorus X7)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

Birds and Stars

Born and raised in Sandpoint Idaho, Shook Twins are an Indie folk-pop band now hailing from coniferous forested Portland, Oregon. Identical twins, Katelyn and Laurie Shook, Kyle Volkman and Niko Daoussis form the core quartet. Central elements of the Shook Twins' sound are a wide range of instrumentation, including banjo, guitar, electric and upright bass, mandolin, electric guitar, electronic drums, face drum (beatbox), glockenspiel, ukulele, banjo 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 repurposed telephone microphone, set their sound apart, creating a unique and eccentric blend of folk, roots, groove and soul.   

Each Shook Twins song tells a story, distinctive, sharp, genuine, and well – sometimes quirky. Drawing from their life experience, select subjects include, being potters’ daughters, imagined superpowers and a chicken named ‘Rose’ they befriended. Shook Twins also pull out unexpected takes on classic hits, retellings of their musician friends’ songs, heartfelt ballads and rhythm driven dance numbers.   

After releasing their first album "You Can Have the Rest," the twin sisters moved to Portland in December of 2009, conceptualizing their 2011 release "Window" (featuring Bonnie Paine and Bridget Law of Elephant Revival). Both albums were recorded and produced in Santa Cruz, California, at InDigital Studios. Favorable reviews, extensive radio airplay and a busy tour schedule have created an ever growing fan base & kudos from many major musicians. Shook Twins and their full band, including Niko Daoussis (mandolin, electric guitar, vocals), Kyle Volkman (bass), Anna Tivel (violin, vocals), and Russ Kleiner (drum kit, percussion), recently finished recording their third album “What We Do” (releasing 4/8/14) with Grammy nominated producer Ryan Hadlock at Bear Creek Studios as well as partnering and recording an album, with fellow Portland musician Ben Darwish on his epic concept piece, "The Clear Blue Pearl."  

National and regional press accolades have poured in since the April 8th, 2014 release of "What We Do," including USA Today touting, "The Portland, Ore., folk group is ready to rattle the music world with its 'What We Do' album." Acoustic Guitar Magazine says, "'What We Do' is a nearly flawless album that pushes the band into unexplored sonic territory…this is a band that packs a tremendous amount of artistry and talent into their compositions." Indie-music mecca Portland, OR's weekly newspaper Portland Mercury states, "'What We Do' is the sound of two preternaturally talented siblings making the music they want to make with a wide-eyed sense of wonder and the good sense to absorb whatever the world puts in their path."  

Shook Twins have shared the stage with artists including: Gregory Alan Isakov, Elephant Revival, Langhorne Slim, Laura Veirs, Indigo Girls, Mason Jennings, Ryan Adams, Blitzen Trapper and many more!

Eclectic, amusing and whimsical, Shook Twins' laid-back and fun stage presence draws the listener in, allowing them to take the audience away on the adventure that is their live show.
