Imitation Irish a Cappella & Comedy!
Ireland's shame and a menace to sobriety, The Dregs are a band of Scandinavian-Irish posers who bring their own merry flavor of folk music to the pubs and taverns of Minnesota. (Ok, some of them are a little Irish.) With staggering behavior, these six sorry sots perform intoxicating ballads, lush anthems, and sea shanties that'll have you three sheets to the wind! So pour yourself a cold one, and get ready for a stomping, clapping, spitting, swearing, mug-swinging, good time!
- dregs (drëgs) n, plural.
- The smallest and least desirable portion of residual liquid at the bottom of a drinking vessel.
- Pathetic band of Irish wannabes who sing, jest, and beg for your table scraps. (See photo, right).
A whole lot of Dregs going on!
Hey Dregs fans! There isn't much Dreggy stuff going on in February but March and April are shaping up to be full of Dreggy goodness!
You can check out all the upcoming shows on our calendar page but beware! Our calendar seems to be less than interested in listing the correct date in the header so make sure you read the information about the gig so you know when it is really happening.
Also, for your convenience, you can click to see the rest of the article and we'll put all the information we have for you right there. Because that is the kind of folk we are.

Dreggnog Delayed
Due to a series of delays in the production process, we have found it necessary to look for someone new to complete the production of our Christmas CD, Dreggnog.
At this time, the completion date for the CD is unclear but we are quite certain it will be at least another few months. Our CD release show, scheduled for March 20th, will still take place and it will be Angelina's farewell performance as a Dreg.
The times they are a-changin'
As we look forward to a new year, The Dregs would like to announce the departure of one of our members.
Angelina Lais has decided to leave The Dregs to pursue other interests. We all understand her need to move on but she will be missed.
Tim, Chad, Susanne, Rachael and Frost plan to continue with the Dregs for as long as possible. We look forward to the challenges a new year brings even as we say good bye to our friend and collaborator.
We wish Angelina the best of luck in the future. Adios Amega!
Did we mention we are doing a little performing?
The dregs have a barrel full of performances coming up and we thought we'd make sure our fans know about them!
First and foremost, we'd like to remind you that the holidays are coming up and we are going to be singing some music to keep us all in the holiday spirit! We have three holiday shows at the Minneapolis Theatre Garage. Joining us on stage will be our good friends Jeff Cahill and Terry Foy.
You can catch us on December 6th, 17th and 19th. The shows on the 6th and 17th are Family Friendly and will start at 7:30. The show on the 19th is our adult special and that starts at 10:00 P.M.
All shows are $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under.
