Popa Chubby

Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz in 1960, is a native son of The Big Apple: the young Chubby would play the jukebox endlessly listening to the hits of the day. Motown, Chess, and Atlantic records spun endlessly through the young boy’s head.

Fueled by Chuck Berry and soul music Chubby took up the drums but was discouraged from making noise. At 14 he got his first guitar and never looked back.

In the late '70s Popa answered an ad for a guitarist in the Village Voice and became a mainstay of the early CBGB’s Punk scene. He played, recorded, and toured with Punk godfather Richard Hell becoming an in demand session player on the New York scene.

Popa Chubby is an artist who stands for musical and personal integrity. Audiences worldwide all say the same thing: “This is the best show I have ever seen!”
