HOME BASE: New York

STYLE: Hard rockin’ blues in his signature fashion – fierce, tempestuous and soulful – since 1994.

LINEUP: Popa Chubby (Ted Horowitz), guitar and vocals, and his touring band.

INSIDE TRACK: He describes his performance style as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson.”

TWO’S TAKE: An endearing character, Horowitz understood from a young age that danger is the essence of the blues.
