Fans of Alpert’s signature sound will have the chance to experience his timeless music as he brings a new six-member incarnation of The Tijuana Brass to the Palladium in Carmel for a special celebration of his most iconic album.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 7, at the Palladium, located at 1 Carter Green in Carmel.

With over 72 million records sold worldwide, his impact on the music industry is immeasurable. Beyond his own recordings, Alpert co-founded A&M Records, where he played a pivotal role in producing and nurturing the careers of artists such as Sergio Mendes, Stan Getz, and Gato Barbieri.
