Ana POPOVIC – The Queen of Blues Guitar 2007
Blues
Ana Popovic’s first CD, titled 'HUSH' was released in 2000. In February 2003, she released her
second album 'Comfort To The Soul', followed by the live CD/DVD titled 'ANA! Live in Amsterdam'.
With her latest release, “Still Making History” on Eclecto Groove, produced by acclaimed producer
John Porter, Ana takes her music to impressive new heights, both as a musician and as a commentator
on the human condition.
In her brief career, she’s already enjoyed a number major honors. Among the highlights:
She and her band won the prestigious jazz award ‘Jazz a Juan-Revelation 2004’ in Juan Le Pins, France.
The award shows recognition of Ana’s abilities in the jazz genre - a strong influence on her music.
During the ‘Rhythm & Blues Fest’ in Peer, Belgium, Ana is invited on stage by ‘The King of Soul’,
Solomon Burke, who immediately invites her to join him as a special guest for the rest of his tour.
Ana was chosen to be part of the European ‘Jimi Hendrix Tribute tour’ in 2002. Ana also joins various
artists Eric Burdon, Taj Mahal and Buddy Miles on a Jimi Hendrix tribute CD: ‘Blue Haze’.
Upon forming her first band, Hush, she immediately began making waves in her home country, and was
performing a hundred shows annually and making regular appearances on Yugoslavian television.
Initially embraced by the blues music community, Ana is the first European ever nominated for
‘Best New Blues Artist’ at the W.C. Handy Award Show in Memphis, Tennessee (2003). She was also
nominated for 'Best Blues Album' at the Jammie Awards in New York City, a three way nominee for
'Best Vocalist', 'Best Guitarist' and 'Best Album' at the French Blues Awards (2002).
