Ms. Holland's band will feature Benny Watson, piano: Charles McNeal, sax: Seward McCain, bass: and David Rokeach on drums. The lovely singer has attracted a loyal Bay Area following, initially attracted by her debut CD of original material, On A San Francisco High. Tours in Asia and appearances at Yoshi's, Pearl's, the SF Jazz Festival, the San Jose Jazz Festival and more have solidified her reputation as an engaging live performer. Ms. Holland is currently at work on the follow-up CD to her 2006 release, Out Of This World.
