Ana popovic at baker street

Let me just say this right up front: Ana Popovic is smoking hot!!! And I'm talking about how she plays guitar! Daaaaaaaaaaang......

Last night was her second time playing at the Baker Street Centre (former C2G Music Hall). Though it was a small crowd of 150-ish, she and her band put on perhaps one of the better shows they've had in recent memory. It was loud, they were on fire, and most of us there were amazed! It's unfortunate there were so many other things going on in the area on this night, because a lot of people missed out.

The band was warming up when we arrived 90 minutes before the the show and they were rocking it! They were really good. As we were getting ready to sell tickets we heard someone buzz the front door. Ana arrived in jeans and sunglasses, and as she made her way through the crowd waiting for doors to open, we all knew it had to be her. She has a definite 'look.' I have to admit, though, I was not prepared for how good she is. She is way more than just a pretty face.

At most of the shows we work we don't leave the front entrance until well into the show, and even then we usually just stand in the back for bits here and there. All of us went around the corner to the stage area to see what she had on for the start of this show. Jane and I actually grabbed a couple seats when it looked like all the VIP tickets were accounted for.

So, it was another good show. Actually a great show. There is usually an older, seasoned audience at this venue, and I heard more than a handful of old guys saying she's the best guitarist they've ever seen. I do not disagree.

On a personal note, I'm pretty proud of the above pic. I actually took it myself. I wish that guy's big head wasn't there, but that's a pretty good pic for me on my old phone. I also took this one of the entire band (neither pic has been doctored).
