Ana Popovic, described as “one helluva guitar player” by Bruce Springsteen, is coming to Bentonville.

She is touring in support of her upcoming album, “Power,” due for release on May 2 on ArtisteXclusive Records. The album is a powerful and personal tale of survival through faith, determination and tenacity. In the fall of 2020, while the world was dealing with covid, Popovic was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having lost her mom three years before to the same illness, everything including whether or not to continue making music was in question. With encouragement from her bass player and 14 chemotherapy treatments, Popovic wrote a new album and is hitting the road.

Popovic performs at 7 p.m. Jan. 29 at Meteor Guitar Gallery, 128 W. Central Ave. in Bentonville. Tickets are $20-$35 at stubs.net. Search “Ana Popovic Live at the Meteor.”
