Ana Popovic

In the year that sees Ana Popovic celebrating 20 years as a touring musician, the award-winning guitar player, singer and songwriter releases 'Live for LIVE', an exciting hour and a half CD & DVD demonstrating why she's proudly looking back at a career of thousands of shows worldwide. This high-energy concert showcases not only Ana's mesmerizing guitar skills but also her fabulous band, successfully merging musical styles. Ana's passion on stage is so evident that the title sums it up, this IS what she lives for. "It’s hard to believe that twenty years ago, I gave up a career in graphic design, formed a band and decided to be a full-time musician" says the hard-touring guitar-slinger speaking from her home in Los Angeles. Ana estimates that over the years she has done about 2500 shows, and easily has another 2500 in the making. “I never get tired of it. I have the best job in the world that allows me to lose myself in music.” Today, you’ll find Popovic in a select group of excellent modern blues guitar players. She's called “one helluva a guitar-player” by Bruce Springsteen and is nominated for seven Blues Music Awards. Ana has appeared on the covers of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazine. NPR Weekend Edition praised her "Fiery technique on the Stratocaster". Nearly all of Ana's albums reached the top of the Billboard Blues Charts. She shared stages with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa and many others.
