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.
1. The smallest and least desirable portion of residual liquid at the bottom of a drinking vessel.
2. Pathetic band of Irish wannabes who sing, jest, and beg for your tablescraps. (See photo, right).

Rumor Has It...

  • Open-Air Stage

    What was once home to Mac's Thistle Leather has since become Mac's Pub: A place to enjoy live music and a cold brew. Unfortunately, the building itself isn't much of a stage, and most of the original structure is unchanged. So how can we renovate the pub to meet our current needs?

    For years, there have been discussions about building an addition onto the north side of the pub and making it into a proper stage with ample seating for patrons, better traffic flow for beer lovers and barmaids, while keeping the spirit of Mac's alive.

  • The After-Party

    Most people don't have a clue what it takes to produce a professional music album. And a lot of professional musicians don't know what it takes to get a 6-piece band together for a rehearsal, let alone produce an entire album! Needless to say, both are an absolute TON of work.

    At this stage in the game, our album looks like this:
    - Recorded? CHECK!
    - Liner Notes? CHECK!
    - Album Art? NOT JUST YET
    - Photoshoot? Oh Yeah!
    - Audio Engineering complete? NOT JUST YET
    - Printing and Duplication? WAITING FOR THE ABOVE

    Hola fellow music lubbers!

    Funny story how I got hooked up with the Dregs. Ok, maybe not really funny-ha-ha funny but at least it's a story.

    It all began with MFL. That's right the Heritage Theater Company production of "My Fair Lady."

    Little did I know that in auditioning for this community theater production I would be subject to such a large secret conglomerate of Festies. Jen, a young veteran Festie, planted a seed in my brain when she said, "Angelina I think you would do well out at Fest"
