Twitch has truly become a fine place for musicians and community. The Repressions are moving more of their livestream performances to their Twitch channel, and looking forward to the Halloween show stream. Find the link at the top of this website along with all of the links, or click here:
Halloween Live Stream Show!
The Repressions are playing a lively set of music, live from their castle to get you in the Halloween Spirit! Listen to live music and original songs while you get your wings and crowns and fangs and clever conspiracy theory costumes together for a weird Halloween. The Repressions will start streaming live on Youtube at 6pm and later on Twitch at 7pm~ Join us, and do like and subscribe and follow us. Booooooooo….
Moonlight Magic – a new live video of a forest music song
March of 2020 was the last time The Repressions performed in front of a live (non virtual) audience. While they long for these shows again, they are grateful that that small evening was blessed with a long set and a lovely audience.
Moonlight Magic is a wonderful example of Forest Music, and a misty dream that we will make our forests anywhere, through music and art and love and hope.
New Lyric Video~ Live Acoustic Performance of Quiet Solitude
Many thanks to all who joined the livestream show on September 26. Here is a live take, with lyrics, of Quiet Solitude (subtle xylophone included.) Thank you for watching!
Saturday 6/27 Invitation
7pm on facebook live! Live music ~ original songs~ please enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
Here is your formal invitation, in glorious sepia tones!
New Song~ New Video! To The After
Many weeks in quarantine and life disrupted and derailed have affected us all so deeply~ a new emotional wave persists: What is coming? What will the new after be? Do we wait for it, search for it, or create it? This song is called To The After.
