\ TO WEST \

A regular weekly show that seems to have settled into a groove on the western edge of the Junction area of west TO, Hump Night Blues is a residency featuring veteran multi-genre talents Dave McManus and Cleave Anderson (bass and drums respectively) with a weekly guest.

Taking place 8-10:30 at On Cue Billiards at 349 Jane Street (half way between Bloor St. W. and Dundas St. W.) the shows have had a pretty impressive roster of talents join with the versatile house rhythm section. Tonight it’s very able Blues guitarist and singer Paul Storm bringing the Blues thunder. No cover.
