\ TO WEST \

The weekly Wednesday Hump Night Blues shows put on by Dave McManus, George Baumann & Cleave Anderson are back in action tonight after an hiatus of several months following the closure of On Cue Billiards in May.

The event featuring the three veteran players (McManus on bass, Baumann on sax and Anderson on drums) and a featured guitarist/singer, had operated for two years prior to the room being sold and redeveloped.

But tonight starting at 8:30 the new owner of longstanding Axis Gallery & Grill entertainment venue at 3048 Dundas St. W. in the Junction welcomes the event back. Featured guitar guest for tonight’s relaunch of the no-cover shows is another veteran Blues player Paul “Storm” Polisano.
