Internationally renowned blues and rock guitarist Ana Popovic has distinguished herself over the past 25 years, pushing boundaries and redefining American music. Described as "one helluva guitar player" by Bruce Springsteen, Popovic has been nominated for eight Blues Music Awards, and consistently reached Top Five status on the Billboards Blues charts for most of her career.
Originally hailing from Serbia, Ana Popovic grew up with the blues in her blood, learning the craft from her father, a storied musician in Belgrade. She's appeared on the covers of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazines. Two of her earlier albums were tapped as a "Pick-Of-The-Week" by USA Today and given prominent airplay on NPR. Notably, Ana was the only female guitarist for four years straight to be included in the all-star Experience Hendrix tribute, a national tour celebrating the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix that also included such celebrated participants as Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. 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. Her latest album, "Power" embodies a personal journey of winning a fight against breast cancer during the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020- a fight for survival which only solidified her dedication to her craft.
See them live at Almost Famous Wine Lounge, an award-winning, new tasting room and venue located on Vasco Road in the heart of Livermore's wine, spirits and brewery district. Almost Famous Wine makes fifteen wines in diverse styles, and earned over 50 top industry awards since our debut in 2021.
