Ana Popovic’s Serbian homeland may be far from the roots of the blues, but she immerses herself so deeply into the music that there’s no question it’s in her blood. Along the way, she fuses blues with funk, soul, rock, and more, making it all feel utterly organic. Since the early 2000s, she’s established herself as one of the fiercest singer/guitarists in modern blues, and she can shred like a demon when she wants to or deliver deeply lyrical guitar tones. And whether she’s wailing or crooning, Popovic’s voice overflows with soulfulness.
