Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues
in his fierce and soulful way for more than 25 years. Over the cour-
se of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be
reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing
has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven
head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he descri-
bes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Wa-
ters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson,” Popa Chubby is an
endearing character who is one of the genre's most popular figures.
