SUMMARY:Ana Popovic Live at Fanatics Pub in Lima\, NY
DESCRIPTION:Internationally renowned guitarist Ana Popovic has built her ca
 reer on defining and describing\, on her own terms\, the essence of Americ
 an music\, simultaneously pushing limits\, bending genres\, and reinventin
 g her music and herself with each new record.\n\nNot surprisingly\, she ca
 n claim any number of notable accolades and achievements from the highest 
 quarters of the music industry. She's shown her commitment to celebrating 
 her guitar-driven\, eclectic music style through consistent touring\, awar
 ds\, and recognition for the past 25 years. In the process\, she's emerged
  as one of the most thoughtful\, dynamic\, and committed performers in mod
 ern songwriting and guitar.\n\nDescribed as "one helluva guitar player" by
  Bruce Springsteen and has been nominated for eight Blues Music Awards. Sh
 e's appeared on the covers of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazines. 
 Earlier releases\, Can You Stand the Heat and Unconditional\, were tapped 
 as a "Pick-Of-The-Week" by USA Today and given prominent airplay on NPR. I
 n addition\, most of Ana's albums have climbed to the Top Five of the Bill
 board Blues Charts and continue to receive regular airplay on radio statio
 ns worldwide.\n\nNotably\, Ana was the only female guitarist to be include
 d in the 2014-2018 all-star Experience Hendrix tribute\, a national tour c
 elebrating the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix that also included such ce
 lebrated participants as Buddy Guy\, Eric Johnson\, and Kenny Wayne Shephe
 rd\, among others.\n\nIn addition\, she and her six-piece band continue to
  tour relentlessly\, having shared stages with B.B. King\, Gary Clark Jr.\
 , Jeff Beck\, Joe Bonamassa\, and many others.\n\nAna was initially introd
 uced to the blues by her father\, a storied musician in Belgrade. She took
  up guitar as a teenager and formed her first band\, Hush\, in 1995. She s
 tarted the Ana Popovic band in 2000 and never stopped touring. She proudly
  states that she has the best job in the world\, and it's the only job I e
 ver had." Ana recorded her debut album\, also named Hush\, in 1999 and sub
 sequently moved to the Netherlands to study jazz guitar and other musical 
 pursuits at the Conservatory of Music. Now affiliated with ArtisteXclusive
  Records\, she claims no less than twelve albums in her storied catalog.\n
 \nToday she is stronger and more driven than ever before. She wants to ins
 pire people: no matter what life throws at you\, pick yourself up and come
  back twice as strong. She is a mother of two and is enjoying her second h
 obby - interior design. She's learning a new instrument - playing drums. P
 opovic performed 150 shows in 2020\, and she's directing music videos. The
  “Recipe Is Romance” music video is\, more than anything else\, a stro
 ng message to all women that "you can still feel attractive\, you can feel
  sexy\, feel good in your skin\, even if you're still recovering after suc
 h life struggles\, you can reinvent yourself and find power in that.”\n\
 nWell positioned among today's blues elite\, Ana's confidence and credibil
 ity continue unabated. "Once I found myself back on my feet\, everything i
 nstantly crystalized for me\," she reflects. "I was able to embrace myself
 \, reinvent myself\, both my appearance and my sound. I'm ready to keep ce
 lebrating life through music. That's where I am now\, and happily\, I don'
 t want to look back."\nWNYBS Discount Code: WNYBS-ANA\n\nTickets are avail
