She can play a banjo and guitar. She even braved performing in the French Quarter on Mardi Gras day many years ago. And while she may seem ubiquitous in New Orleans with her vivacious personality and retro flair, Gibson is often on the road performing, selectively choosing her New Orleans dates.
Education: Associate of arts degree in theater and music from a college in Florida, then attended Tulane, but work got in the way of me completing my music degree. Favorite book: I like biographies of people in the arts. I got some for Christmas about Sarah Bernhardt and Diaghilev. Favorite food: Is expensive champagne considered a food group? It is so noisy in the world today.
Hobby: Who has time? Favorite vacation spot: Paris. How and when did you start performing? I was 3 when I started dance school and I sang as a child in the school choir and church chorus.
