Trust Your Doors~ New Video
April Come She Will Cover~ New Video
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover Simon and Garfunkel’s “April Come She Will,” by request, live, by request.
April Come She Will is a special song in The Repressions’ history. This was the very first song that Nate learned on guitar at age 14 (taught by by his mother Lisa.) Many years later, he was playing the song at an open mic in Astoria, and Barbara, a huge fan of the song, looked up. That was the night they met, and the first conversation they had was based around this song. Now, all these changing seasons later, they play it together.
April Come She Will, written by Simon and Garfunkel. From their 1966 album, Sounds of Silence.

Doing a Twitch show is a unique performing experience. While the venue has more creature comforts, you tend to play much longer sets than at a music venue. You have to be ready for anything at either gig, but there is a tension and freedom taking random requests and improvising on a song you may have never played before. Nate did a fantastic job winging it with one of Barbara’s favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, Dosed, on YouTube today.
Street Spirit~ Live by Request
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover “Street Spirit” by Radiohead, live from their May 28, 2022 show on Twitch.
New Video today- All I Need – Radiohead cover
When Nate played solo gigs, his Radiohead covers were strongly requested, even earning him the nickname “Nateohead” in the local music scene. His vocal range and love for the songs are so apparent, that the tribute must be made. Here is a new video from the 10/31/20 Twitch live stream show, of Knight Nate covering “All I Need.”
Jib Jig from Donkey Kong
Music must be explored and appreciated from all angles, and when Nate gets going with the loop pedal, barrels of music get tossed. Enjoy Jib Jig!
