Popa Chubby

Ted Horowitz, Popa Chubby in Art (New York, March 31, 1960), is a guitarist and singer of the blues genre.

His aggressive style was influenced by artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Willie Dixon. It is much more popular in Europe than in his native country (Pat.) [Citation needed]. Growing up in the New York City borough of Queens with Italian grandparents started playing drums and only later dedicated himself to the guitar playing blues and heavy metal. He played with Screaming Mad George and Disgusting before forming his own band in 1988. The solo career began in 1992 when he won a talent contest in which it is stated as "Best New Artist" and conquers the possibility of opening concert James Brown and Chuck Berry. Later he published two albums on his label Laughing Bear: it is "It's Chubby Time" and "gas money", then republished. The success came in 1995, when Chubby dumps "Booty and the beast". Popa Chubby is a kind of blues rock and reality shows with "Hit the high hard one," a live album that confirms the absolute protagonist of the guitar of the nineties [citation needed]. In 1997 he released "One million broken guitars," published by Dixiefrog. In 2000, again for the DixieFrog, he released a new album, entitled "How'd a white boy get the blues?": A concept blues-rock album, that in Europe alone sells about 60,000 copies. Today Popa Chubby is one of the most representative and charismatic artists of world blues, innovating language and contaminating it with more modern genres. In recent times, he has also launched a production company and is dedicated to the publication of works by lesser-known artists. After 'The Good, The Bad and The Chubby' in 2002, was released in 2004, 'Peace, Love, and Respect' with a dozen songs politically and socially aggressive.
