“He’s the only individual artist to top the Hot 100 with both a vocal hit and an instrumental hit.” - Billboard

2025 marked the sixtieth anniversary of the iconic album Whipped Cream & Other Delights. Herb and the band will be performing many of those great songs in addition to many other hit songs. “The Lonely Bull”, “Spanish Flea”, “Taste of Honey”, “Mexican Shuffle”, “Tijuana Taxi”, “This Guy’s In Love With You”, “What Now My Love”, “Zorba the Greek”, “Ladyfingers”, “Rise” and many other delights. Further, the show features a giant video screen. There, hundreds of classic photos, videos, art and various memorabilia from Herb’s music career will be displayed.

A legendary trumpet player, Herb Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five Number One hits. Additionally, he has nine Grammy Awards, fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and has sold over 72 million records worldwide. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into the limelight, at one point outselling The Beatles two to one. In 1966, they achieved the remarkable feat of simultaneously having four albums in the Billboard Top Ten. Furthermore, they had five in the Top Twenty. Alpert is also the only artist who has had a Number One instrumental (“Rise”) and a Number One vocal record (“This Guy’s In Love With You”).
