I sketched in downtown St. Louis over lunchtime and took in the St. Louis Public Library's "Not So Quiet! Concert Series." Today's entertainment was provided by the Bottoms Up Blues Gang, featuring vocalist Kari Liston, guitarist Jeremy Segel-Moss and Adam Andrews on harmonica. The BUBG plays a unique blend of originals and covers in the styles of Delta Blues, R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Blues-influenced Rock & Roll.
It was 94 degrees with a triple-digit heat index, but an occasional breeze, a shady spot, and some cold water kept the heat at bay.
