Is Sarah Shook a lesbian?
Shook considers herself bisexual, If I was going to ever have success in the country music realm — there’s a lot of homophobia, but I wanted to be right out the gate, ‘I’m bi’ and I’ve been out since 2005.
Shook is politically active in supporting LGBT and civil rights causes. Along with fellow musician and activist Erika Libero (Henbrain), they won the 2016 Indy Arts Award for their work with the Chapel Hill-based Safe Space initiative,
which was an effort to get local businesses to put up stickers that offered safe spaces for people needing it, and for their work putting on a two-day music festival, Manifest, which includes bands that have at least one female or non-binary member.
Shook started their first band, Sarah Shook and the Devil. The band was made up of Shook on vocals and guitar, Jon Baughman on bass, Phil Sullivan on lap steel, and Eric Peterson on guitar. The band released a seven-song EP, 2013’s Seven but disbanded later the same year.
