Popa Chubby

The YMCA Boulton Center presents Blues Rock & Roll master Popa Chubby in concert. Popa Chubby’s music, forged in the toughness that is New York City, takes blues to the cutting edge, where it high fives 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.

“Truly a bluesman for the new millennium – purists may cringe at that thought – Popa Chubby (born Ted Horowitz) has an abiding affection for the tradition but uses it only as a springboard for his distinctive style” – Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer
