Full Band (4-pc)
“...compelling, weird, and lovely—three tastes that go well together.” —Texas Monthly
BIOGRAPHY:
Austin-based musician Abram Shook is a remarkable wellspring of ideas when it comes to songwriting. Shook grew up in California where he spent his days surfing, studying jazz, and absorbing the rich radiant music of Brazil and West Africa, before moving to Portland, and then Boston, before finally settling in Austin, TX over 10 years ago. “Settling down in Austin for a longer period of time has allowed me to establish a rich community of peers to draw from for influence and support. With time comes trust, and I’ve learned to give over some control to others in hopes to gain a perspective on songwriting that I might normally overlook.” In addition to becoming an important part of Austin's creative community, being landlocked for a decade has helped Shook develop an affirming perspective on his past, which helps him quell his anxiety, and focus on his creative pursuits.
