Gunhild Carling: The Swedish Jazz Sensation!
Thu, Oct 22
Gunhild Carling walks out with a trumpet in one hand and bagpipes in the other. By the end of the night she has played nearly a dozen instruments and never dropped a beat. She sings. She tap dances. She swaps between trombone, harmonica, piano, harp, and ukulele, sometimes in the same song. Carling has shared the stage with the Count Basie Orchestra, the WDR Big Band, and Postmodern Jukebox. She played trumpet on Sabrina Carpenter's album Singular: Act II. Doc's House Band backs her for the night.

Artist bio
Swedish musical sensation Gunhild Carling is an internationally acclaimed superstar whose show is a can’t-miss event! Whether she’s singing favorite swinging 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 competed as a celebrity dancer in Let’s Dance 2014 on TV4 placing third. Was also on Sweden’s Dancing with The Stars. Gunhild performed for Sweden’s Got Talent in 2017 and this year she is currently on America’s Got Talent season 2019.
She recently performed with her 'Carling Big Band' at the Royal Palace in Stockholm in the celebration for King Carl XVI Gustaf's Ruby Jubilee. Performing such great memorable vintage songs such as "Minnie the Moocher," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "All of Me," "It Had to Be You," and an endless repertoire of songs, Gunhild masterfully takes you back to another era like a time machine.
Between Touring with her own band, she performs in several configurations from solo to orchestra to symphony and as a featured singer and multi-instrumentalist in several of Postmodern Jukebox's songs, including a 1920s jazz swing version of "Material Girl", and a 1920s hot jazz cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen”. Gunhild Carling keeps serenading audiences in the US and all around the world today.

What fans are saying
The show was outstanding, the music was fantastic, and the musicians were out of this world. Gunhild is an exceptional musician. My wife and I enjoyed the show very much.
I cannot say good things about the venue. Once we were sitting at our table I had to go to the bar myself to get the drinks because the servers would pass by our table without even looking at us; what happened there ???????
But the show was outstanding as I said before. I hope Gunhild Carling and her group come to Ventura again soon.
