Who's making this

Summer Dregs started out
touring with jazz-fusion
and old soul outfits.

When the drive to blend beats, classical, and experimental pop could no longer be contained in a single band, Summer Dregs became the name for everything that came next.

Reckless ecstasy, neon synths, and a stubborn belief that collaboration makes work that neither side could've made alone. The collaborators have included Ben Crump, Nick Lutsko, Bbymutha, Mon Rovia, Sunny War, Ballet Counterpointe, and Ariel Rivka Dance.
