Hello, Frisco!
Ragtime Songs
Performed by Miss Ann Gibson with Frederick Hodges, piano

About the Performers

Singer Ann Gibson, who has been crowned by her fans as “The Duchess of Ragtime,” has been gracing Bay Area stages for over ten years with her velvety voiced renditions of songs from the ragtime era through the 1930s. She has worked as vocalist for the Black Tie Jazz Orchestra and the California Pops Orchestra. She has also produced music reviews for the Art Deco Society of California acclaimed for their originality of content and attention to authentic detail in presenting popular music from the Art Deco Era. Miss Gibson was classically trained as a child on piano, French horn, and also sang with several local choirs. Her father, local band leader and composer Bob Soder, was instrumental in her development as he exposed her to many different forms of music, from classical to jazz.

Pianist Frederick Hodges is well known to the ragtime world. He regularly performs solo piano and also serves as pianist with the Don Neely’s Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. Frederick is also a noted silent film accompanist and is regularly featured at silent film festivals around the country and also serves as one of the house pianists for the Niles Essanay Film Museum. Frederick is a favorite at jazz and ragtime festivals around the country. More information can be found at his website: www.frederickhodges.com
