We're excited to welcome back Popa Chubby, an in-your-face blues/rock/R&B guitar slinger.
      Born Ted Horowitz, Popa Chubby is a true native son of the Big Apple. He grew up in the neighborhood immortalized in Robert DeNiro's film "A Bronx Tale." His early memories of hearing the jukebox in his parents' candy store playing the hits of early '60s soul and R&B made a lasting impression on him.
      "When I first heard Freddie King my world was turned upside down. I was 19 and this older cat in the neighborhood played me the Just Pickin' record, and I was knocked out cold. I thought, 'Man, that's what I wanna be when I grow up.'"
      In 1990 the Popa Chubby Band was born. The name was taken from an impromptu jam with Bernie Worrell of Parliament-Funkadelic. "He was singing a song called 'Popa Chubby' and he pointed at me." The name captured the essence of what his music has come to represent. "Popa Chubby basically means to get excited. The core of my music is about excitement. I think music should make people feel alive."
      The energy and showmanship of Popa Chubby's sets have earned him critical and commercial acclaim overseas, even more than here. In fact, he's become a huge star in Europe, where he appears on the covers of magazines and routinely sells out major venues.

The press are saying good things about Jack Grace...
      "Big Johnny Cash-style baritone singer with guitar, backed by a tremendously versatile, honest-to-goodness country band. Grace’s writing draws from such diverse influences as Merle Haggard, Tom Waits, the aforementioned Mr. Cash and Willie Nelson, but what sets his songs apart from rest of the country or alt-country scene is his laugh-out-loud, absurdist wit. Not only is this a great party album and a great driving album but it’s also very smart and very funny. Humor is a function of intellect anyway. -Alan Young of the New York Press
      "NYC someday will brag about its great legends of country music, that's right we said country, and among those names will be the engaging, hardworking, witty, and schmoozin' and boozin' Grace." -Village Voice
      "His prized possession is a 1947 Gibson acoustic guitar, autographed by his heroes, the country star Merle Haggard and the bluegrass legend Doc Watson. He is rarely spotted without his weather-beaten cowboy hat and rugged boots. He has been known to praise whiskey and tall glasses of beer. Make no mistake: Jack Grace is an old-fashioned country musician." -NY Times
...but perhaps Jerry Lee Lewis summed it up best: "He sounds like that Cash kid, only good."
