Dregs on the Web - Check it out!
Just in case you missed The Dregs at CONvergence, here's a chance to catch up on what we were doing.
First, Chad, Tim and Frost took part in the 24 hour songwriting challenge. We were given a topic and 24 hours to write a song. Our topic was "the sad demise of the beanie baby craze" and here is a link to a youtube video with what we wrote:

Later, we took part in Iron Artist, where we were tasked with writing a song in only ONE HOUR! To see the results of our (and other artists') labor, check this out:

The Award Winning Dregs win another award!
Continuing the "year of The Dregs," our band has added another metaphorical feather to our metaphrical cap!
After appearing as a part of Sample Night Live (http://www.samplenightlive.com) on June 2nd, The Dregs were voted the best act of the evening by the audience. This is the second time we've been so honored and we were very surprised and humbled by the recognition.
As a result, we've been asked back to the December Sample Night Live on December 1st. We look forward to performing with those folks again and encourage Dregs fans to check out their website for more information.
Meet the new Dreg
The Dregs are pleased to announce that we have asked Molly Dimba to join our band and she has accepted.
Molly was one of many terrific performers who tried out for us in February and while we wish we could have taken all of them, we had to make a call and we are very excited about the possibilities Molly brings to the band.
Dregs are third best musical act in the country

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.
