About Me


My profile was customized using the Taming the Beast.net MySpace Layout Generator
The Bottoms Up Blues Gang is St. Louis' Acoustic Blues Trio featuring vocalist Kari Liston, guitarist Jeremy Segel-Moss and Adam Andrews on harmonica. The BUBG play a unique blend of originals and covers in the styles of Delta Blues, R & B, Soul, Jazz, and Blues influenced Rock & Roll.
In the last five years The Bottoms Up Blues Gang has averaged 275 shows a year, released 3 albums, been awarded the Peoples Choice Award for Acoustic Blues at the 2006 St. Louis Music Awards, shared a bill with Chuck Berry, Robert Earl Keen, Bennie Smith, Debbie Davies, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Mofro, Parliament Funkadelic, as well as a host of St. Louis talent.
For a trio, The Bottoms Up Blues Gang has a big sound. Kari's powerfully sultry voice rings with soul intention. Adams tone and sometimes-ferocious feeling compliments Karis vintage sound and stands out as a voice all his own. All the while Jeremy holds down the groove covering bass lines and melody on his acoustic guitar.
The BUBG play with an ever-changing line up when performing in St. Louis. On any given night the band might include a stand up bass player, additional guitar or harmonica, a pianoeven an electric Kazoo! And if The BUBG isnt playing at one of their own gigs, theres a good chance theyll be out jammin with fellow St. Louis musicians.
