Info for Big, Bad and Beautiful (Live)

Big, Bad and Beautiful - this recorded in the spring of live double album summarizes what Popa Chubby has achieved in the past decade. For ten long years, it is already here that Popa Chubby released a live album. This double live album includes hits from Popa of „Booty and the Beast“ to his anniversary album „I’m Feelin' Lucky“.

The 27-song live work of Chubbfatha was in March 2015 recorded in France during his „I’m Feelin' Lucky“ tour on which he was accompanied by a great team: Dave Keyes (Keyboard), Francesco Beccaro (bass) and Andrea Beccaro (drums). As a special treat, there is an impromptu mini-set of the band with some Rolling Stones classics. A definitive live release of 55s guitar heroes from NYC!

Ted Horowitz aka Popa Chubby
is a true native son of the Big Apple. He was born in 1960 in the Bronx and grew up in a neighborhood made famous by Robert DeNiro in the movie A Bronx Tale.

His early memories of hearing the juke box playing the hits of early sixties soul and R&B made a lasting impression on him. To this day the musical influence of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye are ever present in Popa’s music.

At age sixteen he picked up his first guitar and never put it down. His fingers bled from trying to pick out the blues licks he heard second hand from the rockers who played them. In the late 70’s Popa was hired by Punk Rock godfather Richard Hell for a world tour. With the 1980’s upon him, Popa played any and all styles of music he could, the education helping him to survive as a working musician. Chubby was hired for a world tour and asked to contribute his blues-inflected guitar playing to Pierce Turner’s album The Sky and The Ground. Popa worked with Pierce throughout the late 80’s.

In 1990 the Popa Chubby Band was born. The Name was taken from an impromptu jam with Bernie Worell, one of the founding members of ‘70s psychedelic rock and R&B group Parliament- Funkadelic.

Popa Chubby’s music, forged in the toughness that is New York City, takes blues to the cutting edge, where it highfives its contemporary cousins rock, rap, and hip hop. With his razor sharp, biting guitar, vocals from the gut, and top-notch skill as a songwriter, Popa Chubby artfully combines the rootsiness of blues with the more modern urban elements of today’s popular music.

Currently Popa Chubby has released "Deliveries After Dark". It debuted on the Billboard Blues Charts at #4. Popa Chubby is a true blues legend. Keep your eyes and ears open! Popa Chubby’s new album on the label Dixie Frog will be available with the beginning of his next tour.

The new Popa Chubby opus “Vicious Country” is totally Country music and Rockabilly oriented, a kind of travel through the 50’ and the 60’ and a tribute to the famous Sun label.
