A Throw-down of Epic Proportions

Or just two drunk bands trying to out play each other, whateves. So hey. Four Pints shy is popping their Siouxland cherry and we think it’s only fair that we show them who is boss out there. If you’re going to be in town, come cheer, leer, and queer us on! *wink wink nudge nudge* […]

Siouxland or Bust

This year marks my FIFTH (!!!) season with The Dregs. The very first time I laced up my peasant bodice with them was in 2010 at The Siouxland Renaissance Festival (check out their website, yo). Here is a picture from my very first Dreggy weekend:     This was not my first outing to the […]

it’s f@cking beautiful outside

I was supposed to post something yesterday. Instead, I went sailing with my boyfriend.

The Token Vegetarian

I ended last week’s blog with a ridiculous picture of a baby bird in a bun. That inspired me to come right out of the spinach-lined closet and just say it. Some of you may already know this,  but I don’t eat meat. That’s right kids. I’m a vegetarian. I have been one since 2000, but […]

Happy Anniversary to Moi

Saint Patrick’s Day is a special time for an Irish band, and that’s no different for The Dregs. It’s especially special because it marks my anniversary with the band.

St. Paddy’s Day is Over – What’s Next?

Actually it is the day after St. Patrick’s day.  We had a great holiday with a fantastic show on Saturday night with new and old fans and a performance at the Irish Festival of Music and Dance in downtown St. Paul on Monday.  I always feel like we should do more on St. Patrick’s day […]
