Guitarist

Singer

Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 30 years. Over the course 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 describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson," Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures.

Popa Chubby - an evening of blues, rock and soul

Wildey Theatre

Theodore Joseph “Ted” Horowitz was born in the Bronx in 1960. At 13, he began playing the drums, but, influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Cream, he soon switched to the guitar. The young man played the blues and came to the public’s attention after winning a national blues talent search sponsored by a Long Beach, California radio station. He won new artist of the year and somewhere along the way, Ted Horowitz became Popa Chubby.
