While the pandemic may have prevented Herb and his Grammy-winning vocalist wife Lani Hall from completing their 2020 US and Canada tour, the duo rounded out 2019 with ten nights of sold-out performances at the legendary Cafe Carlyle in New York City. February 2020 took the band from Prescott, Arizona to California for three sold-out concerts across the state. The status of future touring plans can be found at herbalpert.com

His 2017 albums, The Christmas Wish and Music Volume 1, both reached #1 on the Contemporary Jazz charts, and Alpert was nominated for his tenth Grammy for his album Human Nature.
