New YouTube video today… The Repressions cover Don McLean’s “Vincent,” live, by request on Twitch. The song, often called “Starry Starry Night” after the memorable opening lyrics and the image of the famous 1889 painting, is a favorite, and a beautiful tribute to the artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890.) It is a reminder that we need to extend compassion to those we might not understand. Thank you to Don McLean for creating such an exquisite song.

Thank you so much to Plant Powered Disruptors and Urban Vegan Roots, our fellow performers Natalie Asport, Kiirstin Marilyn. Diana Rose, and 3Gan for such a beautiful evening! There is a new YouTube video today of the closing number and the amazing crowd singing along. There was a true sense of community and joy present, when we need it most. Lift Your Head Up!
