Hello friends! While Barbara is recovering from sugery for the next few months, Nate will be performing solo shows. You can catch him with Plant Powered Disruptors at Urban Vegan Roots on Friday November 8th. You can also join, watch, and make requests from home twice a week on Twitch. Twitch is free to watch from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, and a lot of fun. You can lurk and listen while you do your chores, or join the friendly people in chat, and choose from hundreds of requests for Nate, every Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon.
Barbara says hello, and she is looking forward to performing again when she is fully recovered. There will be plenty of Repressions’ content releasing on YouTube, Spotify, Tiktok, and more before the big comeback show. Until then, she is so grateful to her wonderful friends and family, and Nate, for their support.
Hope to see you next Friday, or on Twitch!
