Ana Popovic on Finding Her Sound and Learning the Blues in Serbia | Reverb Interview

Музыка

Ana Popovic is an unlikely blues guitar virtuoso. Growing up in Serbia, Ana looked up to her father, an avid blues fan and musician, and cut her teeth sitting in with his band. Ana came by the Reverb office to discuss how she came into her style. Then she demonstrated some of her tones using her trusty Fender Stratocaster and her extensive pedal board.

    I remember when I first heard her playing in Serbia, I was amazed and she just vanished from radio and one day she was a guest live. I was excited and listen to the show. She went away from Serbia because she had no support here. But I am glad that she found her self where they appreciate her. Good luck Ana...

You can see this in her commitment to her gear and her ability to articulate that she does know where the music comes from and she pays respect to those pioneers many generations removed from her.

    My wife and I saw and heard her many times on the Keep the Blues Alive Cruise 4. She is very nice in person and has a beautiful family. There were 20 or 30 acts with killer guitarists including Joe Bonamasa and Ana was among the top 2. Fast or slow, she kills that guitar and her singing and lyrics are heartfelt, direct and down to earth.

    Ana, I simply love to hear you play. As an American in my 70's, what I find very amusing is that there have been so many young teenage European bands who heard, and played, American blues music and brought it here to American teenagers who had no clue what it is because we Americans were fed a steady bland diet of stupid U.S top 40 pop radio.

Love the demo's she did with the guitar in this video, and it was so cool seeing the gear she likes to use. What a player! I hope to see her perform live one day. That would be thrilling!

I dig when she picks up the red guitar from her youth and starts jamming, she mentions Stevie Ray Vaughan & Ronnie Earl, which I can hear their influence on her. Just goes to show the trueness of the Blues and it's influence covers every corner of the world. Keep jammin' Ana!
