Ana Popovic, who will be releasing her third full-length album, Blind For Love, on July 21st, 2009 via Electro Groove Records.
The Yugoslavian-born, Netherlands-based Popović, was first introduced to the blues through her father’s extensive record collection and sessions hosted at the family home. Popović founded her first serious band at age nineteen, and within a year, she was playing outside of Yugoslavia and opening shows for American blues icons like Junior Wells. By 1998, her band was doing 100 shows annually and appearing regularly on Yugoslavian television. Her debut CD, Hometown, provided a first glimpse of her talents as a singer and guitarist.
In 1999, Popović relocated to the Netherlands to study jazz guitar. She quickly became a fixture on the Dutch blues scene and soon ventured into neighboring Germany. With Comfort to the Soul (2003), Popović delivered another diverse package of blues, rock, soul and jazz, earning her comparisons to artists such as Susan Tedeschi, Sue Foley, and Bonnie Raitt.
Her meteoric career shows no signs of slowing down. With Blind For Love, Ana will continue to march forward and carry on the tradition of her father, her roots, and her true love of the music she was destined to play.
ANA POPOVIC BIOGRAPHY

May 13th 1976, Ana Popovic was born in the war torn town of Belgrade, formerly Yugoslavia, the first daughter of Milutin and Vesna Popovic. Ana grew up in a warm and loving family where music was very important. Her father Milutin is a highly recognized guitar / bass player, who throughout her youth, always invited friends over for nightly jam sessions where Ana listened and analyzed the deep artistic roots of her music. In this atmosphere, she quickly picked up her father’s impressive blues and soul record collection, grabbed his guitar and went to work at a young age of 15. Since then, Ana Popovic has developed into an incredible guitarist/vocalist who now currently resides in The Netherlands. The most impressive aspect of Ana's music is her diversity of techniques and styles. Her blend of smoking electric funk slide guitar, jazzy instrumentals, tight blues groove, soulful feminine vocals and Ana’s incredible stage presence makes her an irresistible force in the music world.
Her meteoric career shows no signs of slowing down. Ana will continue to march forward and carry on the tradition of her father, her roots, and her true love of the music she was destined to play. Ana’s latest CD, “Blind For Love,” will be released July 21, 2009 on Eclecto Groove Records.
