  • Bio

    Jorge Cortez grew up in Rochester Hills, Michigan and started playing piano when he was 4. When he was 11, he went on a trip with his mom and dad to Paraguay where his cousin taught him how to play "Patience" on guitar. After that, Jorge always had a guitar in his hands. In high school, Jorge took up the alto sax and worked at the Renaissance Festival playing the mizmar. Jorge played in bands such as You, Electric Spine, The Go!, and The Brothers Cortez. He is also obsessed with mustaches. Laura grew up in Dayton, Ohio and started singing when she was 6. At 10, she started playing the trumpet. When she was 18, she decided to travel to Chile, where her mom is from, to study music. There, she played in bands such as Jupiter Jack, Los Pitchers, Los Gatos Negros and Clique while pursuing her degree in Music Composition and taking classical guitar lessons. Laura has a high intolerance for the word "panties". If at all possible, please refrain from saying that word around her. Please contact booking@whiteshag.com for booking inquiries.

  • Sounds Like

    Imagine Janis Joplin possessed by Iggy Pop's soul and returning from the dead to front the freak love child of the Rolling Stones, Queens of the Stone Age and the MC5. That is White Shag. White Shag is high energy, female fronted, passionate, sex rock with airs of Jimi Hendrix and Cream on electric guitar and a heavy handed and very primal John Bonham banging on drums. You have to see it to believe it. No videos or recordings do a live show justice and even then, you still can't believe it. White Shag currently parades in the depths of the Detroit metro area.
