ANA POPOVIC W/ JAX HOLLOWSUN, 16 MAR 2025 at 06:30PM EDT
Ages: 21 & Over
Doors Open: 05:30PM
The award-winning, hard-touring, guitar slinger blends smoking electric funk and slide guitar, jazzy instrumentals and a tight blues groove with soulful, feminine vocals. Add to the mix her incredible stage presence, all of which makes her an irresistible force in the world of contemporary blues music. Her sound simply never stands still, she’s pushing limits, bending genres, and reinventing her music and herself with each new record.
Not surprisingly, she can 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, awards, and recognition for the past 25 years. In the process, she's emerged as one of the most thoughtful, dynamic, and committed performers in modern songwriting and guitar.
Ana's latest studio album, Power, released on May 5, 2023, on ArtisteXclusive Records, brings those dynamics to the fore and, in the process, turns this set of songs into both a powerful and personal tale of survival through faith, determination and tenacity. They were spawned from a decidedly tricky set of circumstances that tested Ana's devotion to making music and her perseverance.
'Power' symbolizes unity. Album cover art: two holding hands, black and white, is what this world needs. It's the power, and it's the force that's going to move this world forward. Without that power, there wouldn't have been so much remarkable music today, ideas, and reforms. And indeed, not this record. This story is about friendship and embracing yourself with everything life throws at you.
If that all isn’t enough, in 2023 she decided to take on an even bigger task: fronting her brand new, genre-bending, BIG BAND project ‘FANTASTAFUNK’ that showcases an excellent 11 piece band. Funk, gospel & soul extravaganza! It’s available for booking in 2024 and guarantees an amazing performance on any of the leading music festivals!
Called 'one helluva a guitar-player' by Bruce Springsteen and nominated for seven Blues Music Awards, Ana was added as the only female guitar-player to the 2014 -'18 all star Experience Hendrix lineup; a nationwide tour celebrating the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix w/ Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and many more world renown artists.
She appeared on the cover of Vintage Guitar and Guitar Player magazine. Her latest album POWER (2023) made it to #1 on the Billboards Blues Charts - THE list of best selling albums nationwide. Her albums 'Can You Stand The Heat' and ‘Unconditional' where Pick-Of-The-Week by USA Today and featured on NPR Music.
You’ll find Popovic in a select group of excellent modern rock-blues guitar players. One reason could be the fact that she’s always willing to work a little harder and travel a little further to master her craft. Ana and her powerful band are tirelessly touring, playing major blues, jazz and rock festivals. She is endorsed by Fender, D'Angelico, Jim Dunlop and DR strings. She has shared headlining stages with B.B. King, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr. and many others. When not on tour, she resides in Los Angeles, CA.
Bio: Jax Hollow
Jax Hollow is an untamable force of nature. Hailing from Nashville by
way of Western Massachusetts, The Berklee College Of Music graduate is
bringing a much needed revival to rock with her fresh innocence and serious
talent. Jax's sound is a unique blend of Classic Rock, Blues, and Americana,
combined with songwriting, riffs, ripping solos, and powerful vocals. Her
debut record, "Underdog Anthems" was produced and engineered by music
legend Michael Wagener (over 100 million records sold). She was the last artist
to work with him before his retirement in 2022. Her new record of 2023, "Only
The Wild Ones", was championed by Sound Emporium CEO, Juanita
Copeland, and recorded with some of Nashville's finest studio musicians. Jax
Hollow has a full page feature in Guitar World Magazine August 2023 edition,
as well as an album review in Rolling Stone France.
She opened for Melissa Etheridge at the famous Ryman Auditorium as a
solo act, receiving a standing ovation- and praise from Etheridge herself telling
the crowd
"I want to be known as the one who discovered Jax Hollow!"
Jax has been the featured artist on Lightning 100's "Artist of the Week", as
well as major Spotify playlists including Modern Blues Rock, and multiple
features on Joe Bonamassa's playlists. Opening for Marco Mendoza (Thin
Lizzy) on her 2022 European tour, she's now heading her own full band 2023
European tour this November.
With her release of her first full length record, "Only The Wild Ones" on May
5th 2023, her name has been circling music city with raving reviews such as;
"The quality of the musicianship is eclipsed only by the depth and virtuosity of
the song writing. Jax has learned her craft and paid her dues and, if there's any
justice left in the world, this album could be 'Tapestry' for Gen Z." - Rockfiend
"Imagine if Taylor Swift rocked, imagine a female Eddie Van Halen, imagine
songwriting chops like Liz Rose and Jeffery Steel combined and you have Jax
Hollow." - Nashville.com
"Untamable force of nature. "Wolf In Sheepskin" has echos of Jimi Hendrix
and Melissa Etheridge, plus some killer lines like Sunrise, Waking up with my
.45" - Beats Per Minuet
"Undeniable Talent, Jax Hollow IS a star!" - Ear To The Ground Music
