Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass & Other Delights

Thursday, July 30, 2026 @ 7:30pm



State Theatre New Jersey
15 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass perform all of your favorite hit songs just the way you remember, in a lifetime concert tour! Hits like "The Lonely Bull," "Spanish Flea," "Taste of Honey," "Tijuana Taxi," "This Guy's In Love With You," "What Now My Love," "Casino Royale," "Ladyfingers," "Rise," and many other surprises!

2025 was a big year for Herb Alpert. Alpert turned 90, and his classic album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, celebrated its 60th anniversary. And for the first time in over 35 years, Alpert is touring with an all-new Tijuana Brass. Alpert, along with six great musicians, will be playing all of your favorite TJB hit songs just as you remember hearing them while growing up. 

The show runs 90 minutes and is informal as Alpert loves to answer questions from the audience about his career, A&M Records, and the many iconic artists like Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66, The Carpenters, and Burt Bacharach that he has worked with over 63 years. The show features a giant video screen displaying hundreds of classic photos, videos, art, and memorabilia from Alpert’s music career. 

A legendary trumpet player, Herb Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five #1 hits, nine Grammy® Awards, 15 Gold albums, 14 Platinum albums, and he has sold over 72 million records worldwide. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into the pop music limelight, at one point outselling The Beatles two to one. In 1966, they achieved the remarkable feat of having four albums in the Billboard Top 10 and five in the Top 20. Alpert also has the distinction of being the only artist who has had a #1 instrumental (“Rise”) and a #1 vocal record (“This Guy’s In Love With You”). In 2016, the Herb Alpert Presents record label released 40 deluxe re-masters of the entire TJB catalogue plus all of Alpert’s solo albums from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. In all, Alpert has recorded 50 albums and produced records for many other artists, including Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, Stan Getz, Michel Colombier, Gato Barbieri, and his wife, Grammy®-winning vocalist Lani Hall, to name a few. In 1962, Alpert co-founded, with Jerry Moss, A & M Records, which introduced artists such as Carole King, Cat Stevens, The Carpenters, Sting, Janet Jackson, Peter Frampton, Quincy Jones, Joe Cocker, Sergio Mendes, Billy Preston, The Police, Sheryl Crow, and so many other great artists.
