Economy Kicks Dregs Right in the Twig
Many of our fans have grown accustomed to seeing us perform at the Olde World Renaissance Faire just north of Duluth in Twig, MN. Sadly, the financial state of our union has left the organizers with some budget cutbacks, and The Dregs were among those turned away this year. Sorry, guys... that's the way the wind blows.
Back in the Studio
Rested up from a month-long break, we have dusted off our livers (and our voices) and headed back into the recording booth at Curbside Productions. After the smashing success of our wildly popular Christmas show, we were flooded with questions about a the possibility of a holiday album. Who could argue? Production has started and we plan to have CDs available late this year!
Website Re-launched!
After many months of server migrations, module upgrades, and a theme re-design, our site is finally back online... partially. This continues to be a major challenge, since we've already got so many users signed up and thousands of photos and articles here.
Our new look-and-feel is inspired by a beverage that can only be described as the pride of Ireland, combined with some fantastic photography courtesy of our friend Bill Moss.

I Will Survive
We made it through yet another season of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival!
Thank you to all of you who visited us at the pub, bought our CDs, plastered bumper stickers where you thought suitable, drank from our flasks (or even bought the uber-fancy Dregs flasks!) and in general made this a fantastic year for The Dregs!
Remember to check out our Shows page for our upcoming performances...we do have a number of them coming up in October and into November!
It may be several months before we meet you all again at Mac's Pub, but we'd love to see you at the other shows!

CD Release party - better late than never!
Well it's official - we are actually going to hold a CD release party for "Thank you Sir, May I have Another."
Yes, the CD has been available for four weeks now.
Yes, most people who visit this site already have it. So what? Is there some reason why we shouldn't have a party?
We are delighted to announce that Tillie's Bean will be hosting our party on Saturday, October 18th. The show will start at 7:00 P.M. and will feature an opening performance by a great new band that we really enjoy in spite of the fact they are young enough to be Tim's children - "All the King's Men!"
More shows than you can shake a stick at?
Be sure to check out our Shows link. We have a lot of gigs coming up!
Thursday, September 11 - The Terminal Bar
