Born and raised in the Leavenworth area, Kris Lahd began playing guitar at age 7 after his mom taught him two chords. After spending 25 years in Los Angeles and Seattle, Kris has returned to call Leavenworth home once again. He remains very active in the music scene as the band leader for Artemidorus (a Pink Floyd Experience), Cajun Moon, and the duo Laine & Lahd. Shady’s musical journey began in her early teenage years in her father’s studio. She also shared the stage with her parents’ band, impressing audiences at the renowned local Apple Blossom festival. In June 2022, Shady had her first solo performance at the Numerica Performing Arts Center, opening for the acclaimed new wave/post-punk band Modern English, known for their hits “I Melt With You” and “Hands Across the Sea.” Her performance left a lasting impact. Together, Kris Lahd and Shady Laine bring a wealth of experience and passion to their performances. With Kris’s seasoned musicianship and Shady’s fresh, compelling presence, their collaboration in Laine & Lahd promises an unforgettable musical experience, blending the best of both their talents.
