Saffy the Cat has added her unique musical talent to The Repressions live performance of “Quiet Solitude,” during their November 21,2023 livestream show on Twitch. While extemporaneous, the band knew it was wise to let her take lead on keyboard. Fans said they appreciated the dark disonance and extreme cuteness that she added.
Saffy likes being part of the band, and showing the audience how to get attention. She received many pets after the performance, as did her sister Tira. The Repressions are very grateful that Saffy decided to jump in on the song. You can watch the full performance on YouTube today.
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover “Shelter From the Storm” by Bob Dylan, live on Twitch, with a faster tempo and some keyboard improvisation. Requests can really keep a musician on the job! You can make requests twice a week on Twitch.
Shelter From the Storm can be found on Bob Dylan’s tremendous 1975 album, “Blood On The Tracks.” Both Nate and Barbara were big fans of this album long before they met. 😊
