Ana Popovic is a Memphis, Tennessee-based Serbian blues guitarist and singer. Popovic was born in 1976 in Belgrade. Her father introduced her to the blues, and she started to play the guitar when she was fifteen. In 1995, she formed the band Hush with Rade Popovic (guitar, vocals), Milan Saric (bass guitar) and Bojan Ivkovic (drums). Hush performed rhythm and blues, but also incorporated elements of funk and soul into their sound. The band had their first performance in the club Vox in Belgrade. During 1996, Hush performed across FR Yugoslavia, also performing in Greece. Thanks to their performance at the Marsoni Blues Festival in Senta, Hush got the invitation to perform at the Fifth International Blues, Jazz, Rock and Gastronomic Festival in Hungary. A part of their performance was released on a live album which featured recordings from the festival. In 1996, Popovic played slide guitar on Piloti album Dan koji prolazi zauvek (The Day that Is Passing Forever).
