The Egg Presents: Herb Alpert & Lani Hall

On sale Friday, March 8 @ 10AM EST

With DJ Bunny Ears spinning tunes before the show, providing sonic history and depth to frame Herb Alpert & Lani Hall.

Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist, and philanthropist, Herb Alpert is a man with a profound passion. Born in Los Angeles, the future trumpeter came of age in a house filled with music. At the age of eight, he was drawn to the trumpet in a music appreciation class in his elementary school.

A legendary trumpet player, Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five #1 hits, nine GRAMMY® Awards, the latest from his 2014 album, “Steppin’ Out,” fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and has 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 #1 instrumental and vocal single.

Lani Hall is a Grammy Award-winning vocalist, who was the original lead singer for Sergio Mendes’s group, Brasil ‘66. Lani started her solo career in 1971, and in 1983 she recorded the title song for the James Bond film, Never Say Never Again, which was produced by Herb Alpert and Sergio Mendes. In 1986 she won a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance for her Latin album, Es Facil Amar.

Writing has always come just as naturally to Lani as singing. Written over the course of more than 30 years, Emotional Memoirs & Short Stories marks Lani’s debut into the world of literature, assembling works of both fiction and non-fiction, tied together by an intimate narrative.

Since 2006, Lani & Herb have been performing and recording together.
