Bottomline

BOTTOMLINE has quickly become one of the most popular classic rock bands in Northern Minnesota. Meet the band…

Drummer Mike Koski, from the Virginia area, is one of the original members. Mike has been kicking the skins in bands across the Range since he was a teenager. If the band was rocking the east end of the Range, Mike was most likely behind the drums. Mike has powered up bands like the Flyboys, Sin, Scarlet, the Jackets and more. Audiences are always thrilled and amazed at Mike’s flamboyant and powerful drumming. He is truly one of kind.

Terry Miller is the keyboard player. Hailing from Hibbing, Terry is one of the most talented and versatile musicians in the Northland. He has been featured in many acts across the region, performing in bands like Windsong, Falcon Edy, The Firehall Blues Band, The 5th Avenue Boys, and is a member of The Incredible Ides. Terry is also featured as a vocalist in BOTTOMLINE’s outstanding three part vocal arrangements.

Guitarist Bobby Ellis has also been a solid contributor to many, many bands across the Iron Range. Falcon Edy and Slim Pickens are just a couple of the popular groups that Bobby has leant his talent to. Bobby is probably the most under-rated guitarist in the area. His special musical style is the backbone to BOTTOMLINE’s outstanding selection of classic rock and roll hits. From Stevie Ray Vaughn to Steely Dan, Bobby is an impressive guitar player.

Bassist Tom Steinke originally came to the Iron Range as the front man and lead singer for the very popular Twin Cities band Opus. Tom and Opus toured across the upper Midwest from the late 70’s to the early 80’s. After a five year stint fronting groups in Florida, Tom returned to the Iron Range and has been featured in bands like Ashley Bixx and the Sevilles. Now Tom is entertaining Northland audiences with his powerful vocals and outstanding showmanship in BOTTOMLINE.

BOTTOMLINE has performed in almost all the venues across the Iron Range and have been showcased in concert appearances at the Keewatin 4th of July Street Dance, the Hoyt Lakes Water Carnival, The 3rd Avenue Block Party in Hibbing and the Freedom Fete Street Dance in Aurora.

BOTTOMLINE is well known for their great selection of 70’s rock hits featuring three part vocal harmonies and outstanding musicianship. Crowds everywhere can’t help but jump up and start dancing to rock favorites that cover three decades.

BOTTOMLINE’s ability to entertain their audiences have made them extremely popular wherever they play. Always lots of laughs, these guys aren’t only extremely talented but outrageously fun! Great friends, great music, and great fun… that’s the BOTTOMLINE!! Don’t miss their next show!!
