    Best Ever!

    by Keith on 1/12/20Tralf - Buffalo

    Popa Chubby is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. His finger movements on the fretboard are so fluid. I was impressed with his music choices and skill.

    by BLUESFAN54 on 4/16/18Berks Jazz Fest - Reading

    Another great performance by the big man. Not the best venue for sound, but OK. it's great the Jazz Festival brings in top quality blues acts. Was a bit disappointed by the number of fans.

    Great show

    by Otter2nd on 4/14/18Berks Jazz Fest - Reading

    Pappa Chubby was much much better than we expected. Started on time, played for about an hour & 45 mins straight and the entire band busted their butts to put on a great show.

    Excellent concert and ambiancy, but extreme prices

    by OrsonWells on 12/25/14B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New York

    The concert was excellent, as well as the first band! People were highly engaged into the scene game. However, the prices are VERY expensive, we were three and had to pay 130$ for two beers, a bottle of water (10$ the bottle!!!!) and 3 salads.

    Popa was great!

    by DoTheBlues on 12/20/14B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New York

    Popa was great...he still has it. Been watching him play for many years since the early 1990s at Manny's Carwash on the Upper East Side of NYC....However, the warm=up band, which appeared to be family friends, was played for too long and spent half of their set playing heavy metal....Detracted from the evening!

    Popa Chubby was cosmic...

    by Bluesdog99 on 7/7/12B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New York

    We saw Popa Chubby at B B King's in NYC earlier this week. This artist takes Blues to a completely new level. He and his band attack the genre with a degree of intensity that's well beyond a typical blues guitar act. His style weaves in elements of greats like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Roy Buchanan, and Jimi Hendrix. If you are a fan of the blues Popa Chubby is a must see.

    It takes a big man to play a pink guitar

    by Bluguru on 6/6/10Showcase Live - Foxboro

    First time at the venue for me. It was a great place to see a show. I just found Popa Chubby within the past year and I have been enjoying his tunes ever since. When I walked in Popa was sitting there at the door greeting everyone that walked in and was ready to take a picture with anyone who asked. A sign of an artist that truly appreciates his fans if you ask me. He broke out a few older tunes for us and the energy it created in the crowd was both electrifying and magical. A look around the room reviled people with closed eyes singing along and dancing in their chairs like they have been transported to another place. Perhaps a place where the Blues side of Rock and Roll had not quite made its separation and met up with the Country side of Rock and Roll. If you are looking for those tunes when Rock and Roll was young and still trying to find its way and before it got lost back in the early 80’s then you would do yourself well to check out Popa Chubby. When Radio stations stop dicking around start playing music again I hope they find Popa. He just makes it all right with the world again.
