ANA POPOVIC: BLUES GUITARIST/SINGER

Ana Popovic, the lady blues guitarist, and singer songwriter, released her 4th solo studio album August 16, 2011, UNCONDITIONAL, which includes 8 original songs, plus favorite cover songs.The blues rock album has slamming guitar riffs, and sultry vocals. The enticing album cover has stirred up a little controversy, but comes with the territory. Popovic is not just a pretty face/body, she is a serious musician.  A blues guitarist of Popovic’s caliber is typically male, and she is as talented as some of the best   male blues guitarist around today.

Unconditional, Ana explains, "Describes what I feel on stage. That place is simply unconditional. It is magical. It’s just me and my guitar, notes, sounds and drum grooves. I let the band lift me up, and I feed off of their energy. I hate to think when playing. I only feel. Unconditional is how I stand towards my music -it’s mine, it’s sacred, and it’s with no boundaries. Absolute, definite. I tend to put everything I have into it and don’t let anything or anyone get in between, except the people that truly inspire me."

Ana Popovic grew up in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (Serbia) where she became enamored with her father’s blues record collection, and the beginning interest in music. By the time she was 8 years old she was an opening act for likes of Jr. Wells, and other great blues performers. By the time she was 18 she had her own band HUSH, and they released their first album in 1998. Shortly after that she moved to the Netherlands to study Jazz Guitar, where she became well known on the Dutch blues scene, and later in Germany. She is currently touring in the USA.
