While in Toronto they will be showcasing their talents on two nationally televised programs, ‘Open Mike with Mike Bullard’ (March 23) and CTV’s Canada am (March 27).

In addition to television coverage they will be heard on CBC Radio’s ‘This Morning’ on March 23 and in April on the internationally broadcast program ‘Global Village’ which has an average listener ship of 1.5 million people.

In Collingwood, ON on March 22 the Collingwood Jazz Society presents the Puentes Brothers to perform one of their high energy, crowd pleasing shows.

Their series of live shows continues upon their return to the west coast in early April. On April 4 they will perform at the Pacific Contact Music Conference in Burnaby, BC. There they will be given the opportunity to showcase their talents to music buyers from all over the Pacific North West and North America. From there Vancouver’s Starfish Room welcomes the twin brothers for a guaranteed, Friday-night, sell-out show on April 6. On April 7 another stellar live performance will take place at Port Moody’s Inlet Theatre. The following week, on April 15, Alexis and Adonis return to their Canadian hometown of Victoria, as local heroes to perform at Legends.

Throughout the spring and summer the twins will perform at key Folk and Jazz Festivals all across Canada and the U.S.
