Written By Johnny Giles

Hinman Auditorium / Arts Bonita — Bonita Springs, FL | February 22, 2026

Ana Popović delivered a commanding, high-octane performance at Hinman Auditorium / Arts Bonita on a Sunday night, fusing searing guitar work with expressive vocals in a set that balanced technical prowess and raw feel. The intimate venue amplified both nuance and power, allowing Popović’s tone-driven blues-rock to resonate fully with an engaged, enthusiastic audience.

Ana Popović commands the full stage under red lights, front and center as her band locks into a driving groove behind her.

From the first notes, Popović’s playing held clear intent: each phrase was deliberate, precise, and laden with emotional weight. Her guitar lines wove between fiery leads and funky, groove-oriented rhythms without losing momentum, showcasing a mastery of both feel and facility. Throughout the set, her vocal delivery remained expressive and grounded, reinforcing the connection between musician and material.

Locked in and leaning forward, Ana digs into a searing guitar solo with focused intensity.

Supporting musicians kept a steady groove that both anchored and elevated the performance. The rhythm section responded nimbly to Popović’s shifts—locking in on stripped-down swing one moment and pushing into punchier rock textures the next—giving the set dynamic breadth without detracting from its cohesion.

Ana delivers a powerful vocal line at the mic, guitar in hand as purple haze frames the moment.

The audience responded with sustained applause and pointed attention, reflecting a crowd tuned to both the subtle and explosive moments of the performance. Popović’s set balanced fiery technique with accessible, soulful delivery, making for a memorable night that married musicianship and energy in equal measure.
