Ana Popovic is an award-winning, hard-touring guitar slinger. She blends smoking electric funk and slide guitar, jazzy instrumentals and a tight blues groove with soulful vocals. Add to the mix her incredible stage presence, and she is an irresistible force in contemporary blues music. Her sound never stands still: she’s pushing limits, bending genres, and reinventing her music and herself with each new record.
If you’re looking for a fun team sport to play during the winter, you’re in the right place because Minnesota just might be the best place in the country to try curling.
Much like golf, curling is a game that is easy to get into and play for your entire life. It’s not uncommon to see curlers play well into their 80s!
It may be difficult to leave the comfy confines of your home during winter, but there’s a thriving world of indoor activities and indie businesses to explore in Minnesota. Choose your own adventure while staying inside, whether that means joining a book club, trying your hand at wheel throwing, or transporting yourself to the tropics.
