Popa Chubby

Theodore Horowitz, better known by his stage name ‘Popa Chubby’, cuts an imposing figure as he walks on stage, guitar in hand, and a simple vest and trousers. This sets the audience up for a night of back to basics, no frills attached, Blues and Rock ’N’ Roll. Mixing his set between his own originals from is nearly 3 decades long career, as well as some choice covers, his set is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Showing off his fantastic guitar capabilities at every opportunity, on his own tracks as well as old blues standards, his set is an electrifying watch. Where he adds depth to his performance is in showing off his equally impressive vocal chops, a particular highlight being a fiery cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy For The Devil”, as well as a smooth segue from a Hendrix style jam into a strangely beautiful rendition of “Over the Rainbow” the film “Wizard Of Oz”, showing Chubby is capable of more than just loud blues rock. The rest of his band are tight and on fine form, playing well but never upstaging Chubby who is the unquestionable focal point of the evening. If you’re a fan of the blues, Popa Chubby is definitely one to check out.
