Ann Hudspeth began performing in clubs and cafes around her hometown of Austin, Texas, and all over the Hudson River Valley in New York during her college years (opening for Ani Difranco on several occasions). After graduating in 1992 from Vassar College, she headed to Seattle, Washington, where she put together several bands and served not only as singer, songwriter and instrumentalist, but also as producer and engineer.

Her solo release Curve of Step (which is “Pace Bend” translated to French and back to English using an online translator) is a compilation of Hudspeth’s best studio works. Currently Ann is the leader of the band, Plenty.
