Los Angeles, CA -
2015 was one of the busiest years for modern blues ace Popa Chubby. After the
release of a stellar studio album in late 2014 I’m Feelin’ Lucky, The
Chubbfatha hit the road for a relentless run of shows across both the US and
all over Europe. Audiences expecting a subdued, restrained performance from
this veteran star of the stage were surely disappointed as Popa came out
swinging, with all guns a-blazing, firing off multiple highlights from his 26+
year career including “Sweat,” the hit single from his blockbuster major label debut
Booty & The Beast, as well as fan favorites “69 Dollars,” “Life Is A
Beatdown” and more! The tour was immensely successful, the energy beyond
palapable, and the vibe so undeniable that it quickly became apparent these
blistering performances needed to be recorded for posterity. And that’s exactly
what happened at 3 venues in France. The result is this stellar double live
album Big, Bad and Beautiful, which will be released January 22 on the
newly christened Cleopatra Blues imprint, a subsidiary of Cleopatra Records,
Inc. Chubby’s live album have always been extremely well received by fans and
critics alike since anyone familiar with him knows without a doubt that the
stage is where his immensely talented guitar playing skills really come alive!
So don’t miss out on what is sure to be one of the most talked about blues
releases of the year and catch Popa Chubby on the road with his Big, Bad
& Beautiful World Tour kicking off in January!
