Herb Alpert brings a new Tijuana Brass to Missoula’s Dennison Theatre

The 90-minute show is set for 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the University of Montana. Alpert is expected to play the old hits and take questions about a long career in the music business.

Herb Alpert is due on stage at the University of Montana’s Dennison Theatre on Sunday with a new Tijuana Brass, a 90-minute evening that is supposed to sound familiar and still leave time for questions.

The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18. Visit Montana’s listing says Alpert will be joined by six musicians and will play the old Tijuana Brass hits. The same write-up says 2025 marked 60 years since the album Whipped Cream & Other Delights, and that the show is informal: Alpert “loves to answer questions from the audience about his career, A&M Records and the many iconic artists” he has worked with, among them Sérgio Mendes, the Carpenters and Burt Bacharach. A large screen is set to show photographs, video and other material from that career.

Destination Missoula’s October guide also has the date on its calendar, at the Dennison Theatre, 32 Campus Drive. Tickets are being sold through GrizTix.

The listing is a preview, not a review. What Missoula will hear, if the program holds, is a short concert built around songs many people first heard on the radio, followed by whatever Alpert wants to say about the years behind them.
