If you’ve ever been in love, then you’ve heard the name All-4-One and their timeless songs “I Swear”, “I Can Love You Like That”, “So Much In Love”, “ I Turn To You”, “These Arms”, “Beautiful As You” and much more. The Grammy Award Winning group All-4-One is internationally known for making beautiful love songs that not only chart radio airwaves but also garner countless awards. All-4-One’s very first single “So Much In Love“, scaled to RIAA Gold Sales and top 5 pop status.

 

The California based quartet soon marked their place in the industry as premier balladeers. Their second single, “I Swear“, claimed the billboard “Hot 100” #1 spot for 11 consecutive weeks, while sales skyrocketed to hold the #1 selling single status in 1994 and third most successful single of the rock era. “I Swear” STILL holds a spot on Billboard’s “Hot 100” as one of the most successful singles of all time and has been named by ASCAP as one of the greatest love songs of the 20th Century. “I Swear” is recorded in history with an imprint in the Guinness’s World Book of records (as the biggest selling single of 1994). The group’s second album was highlighted by “I Can Love You Like That”, a mid-tempo that hit the top 5 on the Billboard “Hot 100”.

 

To date, they have released a total of seven albums and sold over 20 million units worldwide, won a bevy of awards including a Grammy, an American Music Award, a Blockbuster Award, countless international awards, and completed multiple major world tours. In celebration of a two-decade career milestone, All-4-One released their best album yet with Twenty+ on July 24, 2015. Twenty+ includes 14 new songs and 6 of the group’s biggest hits that helped propel them to international success.

 

In addition, All-4-One’s music continues to gain more popularity with placements in commercials, worldwide music compilations, TV shows and major motion pictures such as SistersDispicable MeEarth To Echo, the hilarious Ryan Renolds comedy Just FriendsThe Social Network, and Nothing To Lose. The group’s contribution to soundtracks include the multi-platinum soundtrack to Walt Disney Pictures animated feature film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame with the title song “Someday”, and the Space Jam Soundtrack, a 5-time platinum album with “I Turn To You”. The California based quartet, All-4-One, continues to tour the world and record new music as the original members and a collection of timeless hit songs under their belt. Twenty+ is available on iTunes and Amazon now.

Whether performing to a festival crowd of 50,000 or in an intimate nightclub, Y&T’s high-energy set and passionate performances still captivate legions of fans around the globe.

Nuestra Herencia , their 2017 debut album, topped the Latin streaming charts and earned the band their first Latin GRAMMY®-nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album . 2018’s Herencia de la Tierra Mía and the two-volume series, Esencia and Esencia, Vol. 2 issued in 2019 and 2020, respectively, charted atop all major streaming platforms and industry charts. In 2022, Herederos appeared as the band were performing a wildly successful North American tour. Herederos received a 2023 Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album . The young, virtuosic band is composed of 14 musicians , ages 18-32 , representing a new bicultural generation in the U.S.

The Expendables

The Expendables

Date(s) & Time(s): Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 8:00PM
Ticket Price(s):  $39 – $64 ($4 per ticket fee included)
Venue: Madame Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis Theatre (EK Theatre)
Presented By: City of Tracy – Grand Theatre Center for the Arts

Amp Melo and Kruel Summer will be joining the Expendables at the show.

 

The Expendables have proven anything but in their nearly 25-year career since starting out as a spirited party band in high school performing surf-rock covers for birthdays and family gatherings. A quarter-century later, elementary school buddies Raul Bianchi, Adam Peterson and Geoff Weers, along with bassist Ryan DeMars, who joined in 2000, have forged a unique sound born in the laid-back beach life in their hometown of Santa Cruz, CA. 

 

The Expendables’ infectious hybrid of ska, surf-rock, punk, reggae and metal can be heard in their latest streaming track, “Surfman Cometh,” a spaghetti-western meets “Pipeline” twang that could easily form the soundtrack to the latest Quentin Tarantino film. The song is the first release from the group’s new and improved Band Room, their longtime rehearsal space in a 1,100 square foot warehouse and former wine cellar on Coral Street, where Adam Patterson took charge of the final mix to great effect.

 

The band’s previous studio album of original material, 2015’s Sand in the Sky, was followed by The Expendables’ second release featuring acoustic reworkings of past material, Gone Raw, 2019’s follow-up to 2012’s Gone Soft. The Expendables continue woodshedding until they can get back out on the road. Their 2017 Moment EP, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae chart, showed the band starting to move into different musical directions, a set featuring collaborations with reggae crooner HIRIE, rapper Tech N9ne, Eric Rachmany, and Micah Peuschel.

CIFFA (Crossover International Festival of Film and Art) is a global celebration of bold storytelling, diverse voices, and visionary filmmaking. Co-presented by the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts and OWAF, CIFFA was created to remove the traditional barriers that often hold back independent creators—from costly entry fees to limited distribution access and a lack of visibility. We believe every filmmaker has a story that deserves to be seen, and CIFFA was built to make that possible on a worldwide scale.

This isn’t just another festival—it’s a movement. CIFFA offers guaranteed distribution opportunities for all accepted submissions, whether through digital platforms or theatrical screenings. We spotlight underdog filmmakers and elevate unheard voices, focusing on the impact of each project rather than its budget or origin. From narrative features and shorts to documentaries, animation, web series, and even AI-generated content, CIFFA embraces the future of storytelling in all its forms.

Our festival is proudly inclusive and accessible, dedicated to creators from every corner of the globe. We are committed to building a cinematic space where borders fall away and creativity connects us all. With a lineup that features films, music, dance, art, food, and culture, CIFFA goes beyond screenings—it’s an immersive, multicultural experience.

CIFFA 2025 will take place October 10th–12th at the Grand Theater Center for the Arts. Every project submitted is considered for international exposure, awards, and direct connection to distribution pathways. Whether you’re a filmmaker, documentarian, digital artist, or storyteller experimenting with new formats, CIFFA is your stage.

This is your opportunity to be seen. To be heard. To cross over.
