\ TO WEST \

They’re back!  Well, actually they’re BackTrack —but the important thing you need to know is that, starting tonight and every Wednesday up till the end of August, a superb horns-heavy R&B/Funk/vintage Pop Rock/Soul band will once again be appearing at TO’s Cadillac Lounge with weekly special guests and no cover charge!

The shows in the room at 1296 Queen St. W., start at 8 and if last year’s summer series is any indication (not to mention a second bi-weekly run in the late fall) the next dozen weeks of this year’s summer reprise will be awesome.

Expect a parade of very talented guest performers (last year included young Pop sensation Belle Matthews) with a band that features the horns plus keys, backup singers, sizzling Marty Zatzman on guitar and a solid rhythm section to make this a spectacular weekly event.
