A rough, gruff, and tough bluesman to the core, Popa raised himself after a tough life on the streets. The larger-than-life, ultra-hardworking blues guitarist and singer tells everyone that first and foremost - he is a survivor.
He is at the forefront of modern blues-rock, where the mix of intensity and integrity, captured on Popa Chubby’s Back To New York City, has made him one of the genres most popular figures. With a shaved head, tattooed arms, goatee, and performing style described as the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson, it’s no wonder how Popa Chubby sells out StageOne time and time again.
