MUSIC: Popa Chubby

Description

Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been a force in the blues for over 30 years. Known for his fierce, soulful guitar playing, he blends rock, blues, and punk influences in a style he describes as the Stooges meets Buddy Guy and Motörhead meets Muddy Waters. A native New Yorker, Chubby started his career in the punk scene, performing at iconic venues like CBGB’s. While influenced by punk, the blues became his foundation, with artists like Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters shaping his approach. Throughout his career, he’s built a global fanbase and remains a powerful, authentic presence in the music world. Popa Chubby reflects that his music is shaped by the current turmoil and the need for something real in uncertain times, keeping the raw, dangerous spirit of the blues alive.
