About this Event
Carla Holbrook is a Martin County native, singer-songwriter, and versatile live performer whose career has taken her from Florida clubs and cruise stages to international tours and major recording studios. Active professionally since the early 1990s, she began developing her craft in Jacksonville before touring across the United States and performing aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship.
A move to San Francisco in 2004 opened an exciting new chapter in Carla's career. She worked with accomplished Bay Area musicians and became the lead vocalist for Grammy- winning artist Salvador Santana. From 2004 through 2006, the Salvador Santana Band toured as a supporting act for Carlos Santana. During the European tour, Carla also appeared as Carlos Santana's guest vocalist and later shared the stage with him on additional occasions in California. She recorded with Salvador and Carlos Santana at the legendary Fantasy Studios and also worked as a session vocalist throughout the Bay Area. Since returning to the Stuart area, Carla has remained a familiar and engaging presence on Florida stages. Her performance experience extends beyond concerts to professional theater, with appearances in productions including Little Shop of Horrors, 9 to 5: The Musical, Cabaret, and Gypsy. That broad background gives her performances an easy sense of storytelling, warmth, and connection with the audience. The Carla Holbrook Jazz Trio brings that experience into an intimate jazz setting, pairing Carla's expressive voice with polished musicianship and a repertoire of beloved standards. Drawing on a career that spans jazz, R&B, blues, pop, rock, and soul, the trio offers a welcoming program shaped by both Treasure Coast roots and years of international experience.
