FRIDAY AUGUST 8 – 5:30 pm – The Repressions are going to bring in the weekend with the casual afternoon Window Series at Shill Tavern. How casual can The Repressions be? That’s a challenge.

SATURDAY AUGUST 9 – 2 pm – The Repressions are especially thrilled to be playing with The Bumper Crop Boys at Farley Steps, on Saturday August 9th. This is a free, all ages outdoor show at the historic Farley Building, now Moynihan Train Station in NYC, with the 34th Street Partnership in association with Astoria Music Collective. Barbara has always loved this building, and had no idea she would play a show there someday.

SUNDAY AUGUST 10 – 12:30 pm – The Repressions will be joining Chaos Pixie, They/Them, Natalie Asport, Carissa Johnson and more to play a free, all ages concert on Sunday August 10th at Astoria Open Streets in Queens NYC.
