NY State Blues Festival - Syracuse Popa Chubby - guitar & vocals Francesco Beccaro - bass Richie Monica - drums Dave Keyes - keyboard Filmed in HD by Joan Mallotides aka BluesBroad 7-18-14
Really love the way he sits there at the beginning, jamming out some idle licks, and before you know it he's merged smooth as silk into a brilliant rendition of an old classic. This guy could make anything sound good!
Thanks to You Tube, in the past two weeks, I discovered Popa Chubby. His Hey Joe is just sublime. I'm pleased that now I can hear so much more. He's by all accounts big in France. I live here now so I'm going to go and see him asap.
Any guitarist would know how many hours of practice are required to play this well.Plays with passion and loves every second of it. His music comes from his soul. Is it possible to be Humble and jealous simultaneously? Yes!
Ahh...Popa.......took a chance at a small club in Teaneck NJ in 2001 and saw him .....awesome ......great original underground blues guy at the time who deserves more recognition. He keeps it real.
Heard Poppy Chubby for the first time on a Maui radio station in 1995 (I'm F.B.I). They played 'Sweet Goddess of Love and Beer'. Went to the local record/tape/cd store in Kailua village and bought the cd. Been a fan from moment one. Truly great guitarist.
just coming back home from 'his' concert here in Germany. Man, that is fun, and true, great musicians. He is fantastic, but I am addicted to the drummer, entire night not one single hit late, better than Led Zeppelin "some" years ago...
In stark contrast to my all-time favorite guitarists, Richie Stotts and Wes Beech, Popa Chubby is the greatest guitarist alive today... and shouldst we lose this magnificent 'guitar hero,' so he will remain... : "Long Life, Popa Chubby."
Incredible! That man can make that guitar sing! Amazing! Took my breath away ❤
Best cover of "Over The Rainbow" I have ever heard---and I am 70 years old.
Popa Chubby’s guitar playing is SO unique & creative, he can blow most other guitarists right OFF THE STAGE without even trying!

Thank you Popa Chubby for taking my mind to a better place!!!

Have you heard Frank Marino's version?

How about "Over the Rambo" would you accept that?
T.est le meilleur frérot
I love " Guitar Face." When your face distorts while playing like that. That's when it comes from The Deep!
I'm not normally into the blues, but this was some cool shit!
If I am having a crap moment I watch this and feel100% by the end of it = magic!!
Lovely man!
Popa has worn that Strat out! Amazing talent!
