An Evening with Jocelyn Gould at Attucks Theatre

May 1 2026

9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Attucks Theatre 1010 Church Street Norfolk, VA 23510, Price:

JUNO Award-winning guitarist Jocelyn Gould “has quickly become an international favorite with her hard swinging, imaginative approach and technical mastery” (Joe Lang, Jersey Jazz Magazine). Her joyful energy has captivated music fans around the world, and her passion for music is as infectious as her unique ability to connect with audiences. Jocelyn has absorbed the influences of the jazz guitar greats and has woven them into an exciting personal sound, citing Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Joe Pass, and Kenny Burrell as primary influences on the guitar.

 

Jocelyn’s debut album, Elegant Traveler, won the 2021 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year: Solo. Her albums Sonic Bouquet and Portrait Of Right Now were nominated for the 2024 and 2025 JUNO Awards for Jazz Album of the Year: Solo.

 

2025 saw Jocelyn tour full-time as a leader and supporting musician throughout Europe, North America, and Japan, playing in venues such as Massey Hall in Toronto, Birdland and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in New York City, the Montreal Jazz Festival, Pizza Express SOHO in London, UK, Le Duc Des Lombards in Paris, and Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen. She released a solo guitar-and-voice album in the fall of 2025, her 5th as a leader. In 2026, Jocelyn will continue touring internationally and release her 6th album.

 

Jocelyn has performed and recorded as a supporting musician with GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Freddy Cole, JUNO-winning trumpeter and vocalist Bria Skonberg, DownBeat Trombonist of the Year Michael Dease, Etienne Charles, Caity Gyorgy, Benny Bennack III, Jon Gordon, Rodney Whitaker, Will Bonness, Randy Napoleon, Diego Rivera, and many more.

 

Jocelyn is an experienced educator and was a full time professor and the Head of Guitar Department at Humber College in Toronto from 2019-2024. She is the guitar faculty at the Brevard Jazz Institute in North Carolina and the Seiko Summer Jazz Camp in Tokyo, Japan. She has been a guest artist at the Jazz Institute Berlin, the Leeds Conservatory of Music, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Michigan State University, the University of South Carolina, North Eastern State University, Ohio University, the University of North Carolina, Broward University, and others.

 

Jocelyn Gould is managed by Birdland Artists and is a Benedetto-endorsed artist.
