Ana Popović is a Serbian blues guitarist and vocalist. Born in Belgrade in 1976, Ana took an interest in her father’s collection of old blues and soul records. By 15 she’d started strumming on her father’s guitar and formed her first band Hush at the age of 19.
Like her RUF Records stablemate, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Ana travelled to Memphis, Tennessee to record her debut album, 2002‘s well-received Hush. Her records showcase a kick ass Strat player with vocal chords to match. Ana’s most recent album Blind For Love (2009) is a more soulful affair than her previous releases but there’s still plenty of blues in those grooves.
You can get more information on Ana at her fan site, www.anapopovic.org.
