Okay, so Yugoslavia may not be the first place you think of when it comes to blues music. Rock-blues is black, American and male. Always was, always will be. Well, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Ana Popovic plays an aggressive style that dukes it out big-time with any of her male counterparts.



To quote a title from her latest release, Sexy guitar slinger Popovic is now ready to 'Steal the Show' in the land of the blues. Ana is on her 7th American tour with her European band, to promote her CD/DVD 'Ana!' Live in Amsterdam'.



Europe's biggest blues act

Don't worry, the only Balkan thing about Ana Popovic is her passport. You won't get pop or traditional Balkan music from this gal. Forget the way she looks (if you can!). Just close your eyes and listen. What you'll hear is searing blues guitar, smooth jazzy licks, sizzling electric slide and tight blues grooves.



Ana Popovic grew up with the sound of American roots music at her family home in Belgrade. Weened on her fathers’ blues collection, she couldn't help but fall in love with the music. She formed her first band 'Hush' as a teenager with their record making number three in her home Country.



Today, two studio albums and a live CD/DVD later, she’s without a doubt Europe's biggest blues act. Playing sold out jazz, pop and blues festivals everywhere. She won one of France’s oldest and most prestigious awards a 'Jazz A Juan Revelations' at Juan Les Pines in 2003. Ana was also nominated for 'The Best Blues Album' at the Jammie Awards, New York, (2003). She is a three time nominee in France for 'Best Singer', 'Best Guitar Player' and 'Best New Album' at the French BluesAwards. (2002).



WC Handy Award

Ana Popovic is also making a name for herself in the US. She is the only continental European Artist ever to be nominated for a prestigious WC Handy Award. In 2006 she was proud to be the first European artist ever called upon to play on the legendary 'Blues Cruise' with their original band. Most recently she was a nominee by the worlds largest blues subscription publication 'BluesWax Magazine' readers for 'Blues Artist of the Year'.



Fresh breeze to blues

With her winning mixture of traditional blues, elements of R&B, jazz and soul, Ana Popovic is heading for the top rank of blues musicians in America too. She's got the necessary 'chops', charisma, enthusiasm and energy. Her live program brings a fresh breeze to blues rock in the 21st century - guaranteed to thrill any live music audience.
