POPA CHUBBY & THE BEAST BAND (USA) - European Tour 2025
POPA CHUBBY: BACK TO LIVE AGAIN
His 2024 tour had to be postponed due to a serious back surgery, but in May 2025, Popa Chubby returns to Europe in great form. The legendary blues-rock heavyweight from the Bronx presents his current album "Live At G. Bluey’s Juke Joint NYC" with his first-class Beast Band.
For over three decades, Popa Chubby has successfully rocked the blues. His powerful yet virtuoso guitar playing, brilliant songwriting, and above all, 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 abilities, Popa Chubby artistically links 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 real 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 record is a reunion in several ways," says Popa Chubby. "There is the reunion with my long-time partner, the exceptional bassist Mike Merritt. Furthermore, the recordings took place in the studio of my old sound engineer Glen Forrest, who ensured good sound at my first performances in the legendary Manhattan blues club Manny’s Car Wash in the early 90s," says Horowitz. "The icing on the cake was Mike Dimeo on keyboards, along with the Centurion Stefano Giudici on drums - and you've got 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.
