Founded in the 1970s around guitarist Steve Morse, the Dixie Dregs are renowned for their intricate instrumental fusion that blends jazz, rock, country, bluegrass, and classical influences. The band emerged while Morse and his bandmates were associated with the University of Miami and later signed with Capricorn Records in the late 1970s. Over the years, the Dregs built a reputation for technical virtuosity and genre-spanning compositions, earning six Grammy nominations for Best Rock Instrumental Performance across multiple releases.
