Popa Chubby brings his blues to The Kate

Guitarist Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, is set to perform at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook Saturday, Jan. 12.

Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his hard rocking and soulful playing has never been more powerful. His career has always been about moving forward and carving a place for himself in the imposing terrain of the music business, overcoming odds to continue growing and maturing as a creative force. He has built a constantly increasing base of fans across the world, where in many territories he is a star.

Pope Chubby is on tour to support his latest release, “Two Dogs.” Learn more about this monster guitar player at www.popachubby.com
