Carlos Mencia: The Liberated Tour

Carlos Mencia: The Liberated Tour at Fremont

Comedian Carlos Mencia is best known for his raw and unfiltered style of comedy, which he has showcased to great success on comedy stages, and in television shows and movies.  He has recently gone back to his comedic roots on his LIBERATED comedy tour, sharing his newest material with smaller, more intimate audiences, and has a residency twice-weekly at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club in Las Vegas as part of the "Stars of Comedy" series.  As a comedian who finds the hilarious irony in both the day-to-day and the newsworthy events, Carlos is never lacking in material; his current stand-up special "Here I Am" is streaming digitally now.    Carlos will also reprise his role as Felix Boulevardez in Disney+'s "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder," the revival of the groundbreaking animated series "The Proud Family."  The show is heading into its second season. Mencia comes from a humble background, born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was three months old, where he was raised in the Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens, Mencia moved back to Honduras.  When Mencia returned to Los Angeles, he showed such educational prowess that he pursued a career in engineering.  But an amateur night at the world-renowned Laugh Factory comedy club would change his path, and a career in comedy began.  He became a regular at The Comedy Store, performing nightly. After he found success on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, Mencia was named International Comedy Grand Champion from Buscando Estrellas (the Latin version of Star Search), eventually landing on shows such as "In Living Color," "The Arsenio Hall Show," and "An Evening at the Improv." Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining stand-up tours and starring in stand-up TV specials. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. Comedy Central soon took notice and the show "Mind of Mencia" went into development. Created by Carlos and comedy producer Robert Morton, the comedy series featured Carlos and his crew with their merciless mix of up-close stand-up, unconventional street interviews, and shocking commercial parodies.  The show was an instant hit, and propelled Mencia to the comedy elite.  After the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for an original stand-up special, "Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached," the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status. Throughout the four seasons of "Mind of Mencia," Carlos never stopped performing live, headlining shows across the country and internationally.  "Comedy is my art, and fans are my passion," he has said.   Always looking to give back to those fans, Mencia has entertained troops serving overseas for USO tours in Turkey, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Qatar, Afghanistan, and many other countries. Later, Mencia went on to star on the big screen.  He starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in "The Heartbreak Kid," and in the family-comedy "Our Family Wedding," alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker. Carlos Mencia presently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.

Two Feet: The Next Steps Tour

Two Feet: The Next Steps Tour at Fremont

Two Feet Zachary William "Bill" Dess, known by his stage name Two Feet, is an American singer, songwriter, and producer from New York City. A multi-instrumentalist, Dess is one of the few artists today who writes, plays, sings, and produces all his own music in his studio. Reviewers have called his music "mesmerizing" and noted his "silky vocals, low-key beat." He is a blender of genres and makes some of the most raw and original, emotionally alive music today. Two Feet's songs are atmospheric and moody due to spacious arrangements and muscular hip-hop-tinged beats. Dess combines a soulful electric guitar with floor-rattling bass to create his unique sound. Blues and jazz accents add backbone and exacerbate the mournful undertones of Dess' smoky, conspiratorial voice that knows of heartbreak, anxiety, and uncertainty. In early 2018, Two Feet released his third EP, A 20 Something F*CK, which contains I Feel Like I'm Drowning, his breakthrough song that hit No.1 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. Following this EP, he released the albums A 20 Something Fuck (2018), Pink (2020), Max Maco Is Dead Right? (2021), and Shape & Form (2022). His fifth studio album Drunken Fits of a Modern Age will be released in early 2026. Two Feet's songs have more than a billion streams across Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, and SoundCloud. He's performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He has headlined U.S. and international tours to sell-out audiences. With over 8.2 million monthly listeners (2.56 million million followers) on Spotify (with a conversion ratio of 26.6%), 1.7 million subscribers on YouTube, 784,000 followers on TikTok, and 275,000 on IG, he is one of the most watched and listened to alternative, independent artists working today.

Mariachi Sol De Mexico De Jose Hernandez

Mariachi Sol De Mexico De Jose Hernandez at Fremont

José is a master of mariachi music. He is a Grammy Award-winning world-renowned musician, composer and music educator. He is founder of the world-famous Mariachi Sol de MéxicoÒ and America's first all-female professional mariachi ensemble Mariachi Reyna de Los AngelesÒ. José also directs the mariachi ensemble that plays at L.A. Rams football games. José's family hails from the town of Miraflores, Jalisco. He is a seven-generation mariachi whose family has played music professionally since the 1700s when Mexico was New Spain. Arguably, the longest surviving family that continues to play mariachi music. José's daughter Crystal is following the family tradition, joining her father's ensemble Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles. José and his Mariachi Sol de México received their latest Latin GrammyÒ nomination in 2022 for their latest album 40 Aniversario Embajadores del Mariachi (40th Anniversary Mariachi Ambassadors), a collection of classic rancheras from the ensemble's 40-year artistic trajectory. José counts with 9 Latin Grammy Nominations and the ensemble has 7. In addition, José's symphonic arrangements and orchestrations have led his mariachi to share the stage with Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Diego Symphony, San Francisco Symphony and Jalisco Symphony. He recently traveled to The Czech Republic where the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra debuted his composition "Rapsodia para un mariachi," and most recently, he composed his "Jarabe Sinfónico No. 1 para orquesta." José and his Mariachi Sol de México have played sold out concerts from Madison Square Garden to Beijing, China and Pyongyang, North Korea. They have been invited to play for five U.S. Presidents from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama. The versatility of Mariachi Sol de México de José Hernández led to amazing collaborations with legacy artists such as The Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Selena, Linda Ronstadt, Juan Gabriel, Jose Feliciano, Vicente Fernández and a record-breaking tour with superstar Luis Miguel. The ensemble has also provided music for the soundtracks for such films as Old Gringo, American Me, Rango, Glory Road, Sea Biscuit, Don Juan de Marco, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and many more. José's passion is to bring mariachi music to audiences around the world. In addition to leading two mariachi ensembles, he works tirelessly to inspire and empower the next generation of musicians. José helped to create mariachi music programs in schools in 37 states and his Mariachi Academy curriculum is taught in 22 schools throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties in Southern California. José also founded The José Hernández' Mariachi Nationals and Summer InstituteÒ, a mariachi music Summer intensive and competition which brings together some of the country's top student mariachi ensembles and the Mariachi Heritage Society, which teaches mariachi music and folk dancing to new generations. José is also the Musical Director of several prestigious mariachi festivals. In 2021, José received the Cesar Chavez Legacy of Service Award, recognized for his work elevating the perception of mariachi music throughout the world and inspiring future generations of mariachi students via educational scholarships, gifting instruments and via his Mariachi Heritage Society. José continues to advance the art of mariachi music with daring new compositions and arrangements. His 18th CD, 40 Aniversario Embajadores del Mariachi was nominated for a Latin Grammy. He has composed, arranged and provided music for all eighteen Mariachi Sol de México albums. He sings and plays trumpet, violin, guitarrón, and vihuela. He has performed in prestigious venues around the world and recorded with some of the most respected names in the music industry. José's musical inspirations are rich and diverse, ranging from Agustín Lara to José Alfredo Jiménez. One of José's proudest achievements is establishing the Sol de México® symphony orchestra, bringing this powerful and vibrant sound to mariachi lovers around the world.
