Herb Alpert and Lani Hall
The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate,” presents Herb Alpert and Lani Hall in concert on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at 7:30 pm at Palmer Auditorium on the campus of Connecticut College, 270 Mohegan Avenue, New London.
Though the Kate had previously presented the pair at its intimate Old Saybrook venue in July 2022 for two nights, a larger space was necessary to accommodate a one-night-only performance. The Kate is pleased to be utilizing the recently renovated Palmer Auditorium at Connecticut College, which is easily accessible from I95 and offers ample parking to welcome more than 850 audience members. Tuesday, May 21st will be a magical evening of music and reminiscing with Herb, Lani and their band, and patrons can expect the same quality “Kate Experience.”
Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist and philanthropist, Herb Alpert is a man with a profound passion. A legendary trumpet player, Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five number one hits, nine GRAMMY® Awards, fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and he’s sold over 72 million records. 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 since-unmatched feat of simultaneously having four albums in the Top 10 and five in the Top 20. Herb Alpert also has the distinction of being the only artist who has had a number one instrumental and a number one vocal single.
Two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning vocalist and producer Lani Hall started her singing career in 1966 as the lead singer of Sergio Mendes’s breakthrough group, Brasil ’66. She left behind her city roots in Chicago and for five years performed throughout the world. While Lani’s singing career took her on the road, she also focused on her writing — committing to the page her personal impressions of the world around her. Sergio Mendes further expanded her writing career by asking Lani to write the English lyrics for many of the band’s Brazilian songs.
In 1966, A&M Records signed Brasil ’66 and Lani met her future husband, music legend, Herb Alpert, who is also the co-founder of A&M Records. Herb and Lani married in 1973. Lani has the distinction of recording more than 22 albums in three different languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish) and in 1983, she sang the title song for the James Bond film, Never Say Never Again. Since 2006, Hall and Alpert have been touring with their band to sell out performances.
