IT’S CHUBBY TIME AGAIN

His 2024 tour had to be postponed due to a serious back surgery, but in May 2025, Popa Chubby returns to Switzerland in great shape. The legendary blues-rock powerhouse from the Bronx will present his current album "Live At G. Bluey´s Juke Joint NYC" with his top-notch Beast Band.

For more than three decades, Popa Chubby has been successfully rocking the blues. His powerful yet virtuous guitar playing, brilliant songwriting, and especially his innovative style make him a unique representative of his craft. Popa Chubby's music has been shaped by the influences of his hometown New York City, blending blues with rock, rap, and soul. With his razor-sharp, biting guitar and phenomenal songwriting skills, Popa Chubby artistically merges the roots of blues with modern urban elements. The current album "Live At G. Bluey´s Juke Joint NYC" was recorded by Ted Horowitz, as the musician is known by his birth name, on October 24 and 25, 2022, in Long Island City, New York. Popa Chubby (guitar and vocals) is supported by his Beast Band, which consists of bassist Mike Merritt (Conan O'Brien, Billy Gibbons), keyboardist Mike Dimeo (Johnny Winter, Tommy James), and drummer Stefano Giudici. "This album is a reunion in several ways," says Popa Chubby. "There is the reunion with my long-time partner, the exceptional bassist Mike Merritt. Additionally, the recordings took place in the studio of my old sound engineer Glen Forrest, who ensured great sound during my first performances at the legendary Manhattan blues club Manny’s Car Wash in the early '90s," Horowitz shares. "The cherry on top was Mike Dimeo on keyboards, along with Centurion Stefano Giudici on drums - and there you have the finest heavy blues rock. This album is a live best-of document for eternity!" On the 2025 tour, Chubby will present his current album and celebrate the wide range of his repertoire on European stages together with the fantastic Beast Band.
