Waitress #2

Jazz gem Ginger Berglund has been crafting a multi-faceted career since her earliest days in Pasadena, CA, where jazz aficionados regularly vote her "best jazz singer." Ginger has sung with Kenny Rankin, recorded with Steve Allen and pianist Paul Smith, and she is a featured singer with the Jumpin' Joz swing band, the Tracy Wells Big Band, and many other groups. Ginger is also the newest member of iconic vocal group The Modernaires.

Ginger was admitted to the Screen Actor's Guild for her work in the comedy movie "Kiss My Grits." She also appeared in the Martin Scorsese film "The King of Comedy" with Jerry Lewis and Tony Randall. She also worked and performed with Brazilian jazz vocal great Flora Purim and premier percussionist Airto Moreira. Along the way Ginger has worked with one jazz great after another.

Ginger got her first break at 15, debuting with Jim Coday's singing group Vanity Fair at Ronald Reagan's Gubernatorial Ball. Other dates quickly followed, including performances at the Dodger Stadium Fourth of July Family Show and Mitzi Gaynor's Christmas Show at LA's Shrine Auditorium.

No slouch academically, Ginger earned a degree from St. Olaf College in Minnesota. She toured with the famed St. Olaf Choir across Europe, singing for Pope John Paul I in the Sistine Chapel. At St. Olaf Ginger caught kudos for her lead in "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well" and toured in the school's production of "Godspell."
