NEW YORK BLUES: The Beat Goes On- Ana Popovic
I hope you guys out there are enjoying my images. I'm doing my best to capture these fine artists on-stage doing what they do best. Photography is my thing, not words, but I will try to include a little something about the artists. I will also include a link to a website whenever possible. I highly encourage you to visit the links to learn more about the artists and maybe even hear some of their music. Their own words and music say it better than I ever can. These artists work hard to bring the Blues to you all and we need to help keep this beautiful music alive and kickin'. For me there are very few things as musically enjoyable as a groovin' blues shuffle. When it's cookin' you can feel it down to the bone! Cheers! ...

"Yugoslavian-born guitarist plays a kind of mainstream
blues with a bit of everything thrown in; electric funk
and slide guitar, jazzy instrumentals and raw rock,
tight blues grooves, acoustic slide and soulful guitar."

"When Bobby’s first album on the revered Black Top label
hit record stores all over the world, critics declared him
the next in a long line of guitar heroes. Jazz-lovers awarded
him a coveted five-star review in downbeat, New York rockers
took him to heart for his edgy energy, and blues fans
everywhere knew their favorite music was alive and well."
