Herb Alpert hits San Antonio on first Tijuana Brass tour in 35 years

Legendary musician Herb Alpert will come to the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio on Friday, August 1, as part of his first tour in 35 years with a new version of his band, The Tijuana Brass.
2025 marks a couple of big milestones for Alpert. He will turn 90 years old on March 31, and his classic album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, will celebrate its 60th anniversary.
The tour, dubbed Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass & Other Delights, will feature the band performing many songs from that No. 1 album, including the seminal "A Taste of Honey," along with hits like “The Lonely Bull,” “Spanish Flea” — used famously as the background music for TV show The Dating Game — “Tijuana Taxi,” and more.
The 90-minute show is designed to be informal, as Alpert will answer questions from the audience about his career, his collaborators, and more. A giant video screen will display classic photos, videos, art, and various memorabilia from his music career.
Alpert, best known as a trumpeter, is still going strong despite his advanced age. He has released 48 albums in his career, including the new 50 in 2024.
In addition to his own storied career as a recording artist, Alpert founded A&M records with his business partner Jerry Moss. The two discovered artists like The Carpenters, Sergio Mendes, and many others.
Alpert and his wife, Lani Hall, have their own lengthy history together, as they'll celebrate 52 years of marriage in 2025. The husband and wife regularly perform together, including a concert at the Tobin Center in 2024.
Tickets (starting at $49.50) are on pre-sale now for Tobin members. A general sale starts March 21 at 10 am at tobincenter.org. Tickets can also be purchased via phone at (210) 223-8624 or in-person at The Tobin Center Box Office (100 Auditorium Circle) weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm and Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm.
