Gunhild Carling, known as “Sweden’s Queen of Swing,” is an internationally acclaimed jazz musician, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist whose high-energy shows blend vintage jazz with vaudeville showmanship. She is famous for her remarkable ability to play numerous instruments, including the trombone (her favorite), trumpet, bagpipes, harp, and piano, often demonstrating her versatility by playing multiple instruments simultaneously or incorporating tap dancing and juggling into her act. Carling’s musical style is rooted in hot, traditional jazz and swing from the 1920s and 1930s, though she is also known for her modern collaborations, notably with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, where she delivers vintage-style covers of contemporary pop songs.
