Gunhild Carling “Sweden’s Queen of Swing”

Swedish musical sensation Gunhild Carling is an internationally acclaimed superstar whose one-woman show is a can’t-miss event! Whether she’s singing favorite jazz standards, playing one of many instruments (trumpet, trombone, harmonica, oboe, harp, flute, recorder, or jazz bagpipe!) or juggling and tap dancing, Gunhild’s sublime showmanship shines. And just wait for the finale – spoiler alert – she plays three trumpets at once!

Carling is a jazz artist of the old breed, combining extraordinary skills on trumpet and trombone with vaudeville stunts. In her playing, she shows heavy influences from Bix and Louie Armstrong as well as Billie Holiday. She plays a variety of instruments: trumpet, trombone, harmonica, oboe, flute, and jazz bagpipe – just to name a few. As if that weren’t enough, Gunhild also tap dances and sings during her shows.
