The latest performer in the Route97 Culture Road Trip is a Grammy and Juno award winner who will be stopping in Penticton for one night only.

Alex Cuba, whose recognition includes one Grammy, four Latin Grammys and two Juno awards, will be playing at the Cleland Community Theatre on Oct. 21.

A resident of Smithers, B.C. since 2003, Cuba鈥檚 latest studio release Mend贸 earned him his Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album, and his home town celebrated with a Grammy block party.

Mark Greenhalgh of Penticton鈥檚 Misty Mountain Productions is one of the co-creators behind the Route97 Culture Road Trip Series, and he is eagerly looking forward to Cuba鈥檚 show.

鈥淎lex Cuba is an incredible artist, and we鈥檙e very grateful he will be performing for us as part of our 2022 series,鈥� said Greenhalgh. 鈥淭he work we are doing is building our region up as a viable touring option for both emerging and national-level artists with unforgettable concert experiences.鈥�
