USAPhone: 808-896-4845Lazar Bear is proud to announce that the Jaw-Dropping Blues-Rock Guitar Wiz, Popa Chubby will return to Hawaii for a Three Island Tour in May.  Play dates are May 9,10,11 - Maui May 12, 13, 16 – Big Island May 17, 18, 19 - Oahu   Audiences worldwide all say the same thing: "This is the best show I have ever seen!" "So don't be fooled by the big man's playful image or mirthful banter: Popa Chubby is one deadly serious artist. This was my first exposure to Chubby's onstage magic, but it sure as hell won't be the last." By Gutter Candy, BLOGCRITICS.ORG Published 08:44 p.m., Thursday, November 3, 2011  "Horowitz adopted the name Popa Chubby in 1990 during a jam with Parliament-Funkadelics Bernie Worrell. He was singing a song called Popa Chubby and he pointed at me, he says. Given Horowitz's dimensions and his proclivity for getting audiences excited, the tag fit." "He is at the forefront of modern blues-rock, where the mix of intensity and integrity captured on Popa Chubby's Back To New York City has made him one of the genres most popular figures. And he's an imposing figure at that, weighing more than 300 pounds with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performing style he describes as the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix  meets Robert Johnson.
