Biography

Refestramus (re-fes-TRA-mus) is a Chicago-based progressive rock project led by songwriter and drummer Derek Ferguson. The name — coined by Derek's mother — means "rearrange," and the band's music lives up to it: a restless recombination of classic prog ambition, cinematic storytelling, Slavic and Latin folk traditions, and modern hard rock energy.

Founded in May 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown, Refestramus has released three albums: Decoupage (2021), Intouríst (2024), and Morri's Rock Boutique (2026), all produced by Ian Beabout.
