Gunhild Carling didn’t just bring her incredible talent to Peoria once — she did it two days in a row! Performing at Bradley University’s Dingeldine Theater for the Doris J. Kolb Women in Music Series and then again the next evening as part of the Bradley University Jazz Festival, she gave audiences an unforgettable experience. Sweden’s Queen of Swing lit up the stage with her energy, virtuosic musicianship, and show-stopping charisma, proving once again why live music is something you have to feel in the moment.
You can stream a song, watch a video, or scroll past a performance online - but you can’t download the electric energy of a live show - it’s something you have to be there for. If you missed this one, don’t let the next opportunity pass you by.
There is amazing live music everywhere in Peoria. Expose your kids to it, expose yourselves to it, and experience the magic of live music whenever you can.
Check out the photos and videos in this post while you make your live music to-do list for this weekend.
