For the first time in 40 YEARS, the original line-up of the famous Dixie Dregs will embark on a U.S. tour in February of 2018.
That line-up includes current Deep Purple axe-man Steve Morse (guitar), Andy West (bass), Allen Sloan (violin), Steve Davidowski (keyboards), and Winger’s kit-man, Rod Morgenstein (drums).
Dubbed the “Dawn Of The Dregs”, the 25-date tour — with additional dates to be announced soon — will take the band across the country starting on February 28 in Clearwater, Florida, and make stops in Atlanta, Charleston, Washington D.C., New York City, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Boulder, and Phoenix, among many others, before wrapping April 25 in Dallas, TX.
