Bottoms Up
Bottoms Up Live
"Bottoms Up is a five-piece east coast traditional band
from New Brunswick, Canada who has entertained and captured the enthusiasm of
audiences young and old alike for the past 20 plus years.
Their recently recorded live album, Bottoms Up Live!, is a must have for your CD
collection! It earned the band a 2007 East Coast Music Association Award
nomination in the Roots/Traditional Group Recording of the Year category and has
since spread the kitchen party from Northern Canada to the Southern United
States, from Newfoundland to British Columbia and even over to the UK and
Europe!
They have performed at many festivals, pubs and private functions and made many
friends and fans along the way. If you would like your club, festival or
function to stand on their feet and sing along, then give Bottoms Up a call!"
