Ana Popovic in Groningen April 29th- New album in May 5 Guitarist Ana Popovic – she has a new record coming out on May 5th entitled, Power and will also be performing in Groningen at The Rhythm & Blues Festival Oosterpoort on April 29th. |
Described as "one helluva guitar player" by Bruce Springsteen, Popovic has appeared on covers of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazines. She’s topped the Billboard Charts numerous times and receives regular airplay on radio stations worldwide. A couple of her albums were named "Pick-Of-The-Week" by USA Today and given prominent airplay on NPR.
In the fall of 2020, while the world was dealing with Covid, Popovic found herself in a dire and devastating situation. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having lost her mom three years before to the same illness, everything including whether or not to continue making music was in question. With encouragement from her bass player/musical director Buthel, between 14 chemotherapy treatments and flights back and forth between L.A. and Amsterdam, where she received her treatments, Popovic and Buthel connected on Zoom to write the material that coalesced as the new album.
Popovic has built her career on defining and describing, on her own terms, the essence of American music, simultaneously pushing limits, bending genres, and reinventing her music and herself with each new record. Ana's upcoming album, Power, due for release on May 5, 2023, on ArtisteXclusive Records, brings those dynamics to the fore and, in the process, turns this set of songs into both a powerful and personal tale of survival through faith, determination and tenacity. They were spawned from a decidedly tricky set of circumstances that tested Ana's devotion to making music and her perseverance
