Watching someone who is a complete master of their instrument is refreshing and emotional for me, and seeing Ana Popovic perform her blues guitar whilst singing some incredibly challenging vocals was simply mind blowing.
She opened the show with a track from the album Still Making History, and absolutely blew everyone in the crowd away with her complex solo. She was so comfortable on stage and her guitar appeared to be an extension of herself, the ease she was playing with. Seeing her live was the week that she’d been nominated for a Blues Music Award in the Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year section, and she was incredibly thankful and humbled by the recognition.
She played through her album Can You Stand the Heat in its entirety, and rocked every track. She had a super talented band playing behind her, and they all interacted really well together, she even gave them the opportunity to perform live solos, which was awesome as of course they don’t appear on the recordings. In some of her tracks with catchy choruses she encouraged us to sing along in the audience, and it was so cool to be included in the show in this manner.
