Annabel Hodges

I have a few different styles that I can provide. Usually, my performance would be great for background music at a restaurant. I have also done many weddings - playing for the ceremony as well as cocktail hour. I love to sing jazz as well as anything popular that people would be familiar with.

My rate is $150 per hour of time commitment including setup, playing, and/or singing with potential additional fees (listed below).

Additional Fees (none/not all may apply):
Provide Keyboard and/or Amplifier = $50
Transportation Fee = $40 for over 25 miles, $75 for over 50 miles (from Sherwood, AR)
Outdoor Fee = $50
Wedding Rehearsal (if asked to attend) = $100
Specific Sheet Music Request = Cost of sheet music

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Music became a part of my life early on - starting piano lessons when I was five years old. I grew up playing piano and singing in church and learning how to engage the congregation and lead them in musical worship. I was able to study with several esteemed pianists throughout my lessons as a child up through my college years and was also able to take voice lessons with wonderful teachers. At John Brown University I studied for a degree in Worship Arts (which included much piano and vocal training). I then spent some time teaching privately in the Northwest Arkansas area before working as a show band vocalist and keyboardist for a couple of cruise ship contracts and now live in Sherwood, Arkansas where I am a contract musician leading worship for several churches and accompanying for a local high school choir.

I am very easy-going as far as setup goes. If it is a solo, I will only need space for myself, my keyboard, maybe a microphone, and my amplifier.
