Mike Palermo, Mike Greenblatt and Popa Chubby

Popa Chubby's new trio, The Baldies, (l-r) Mike Palermo, The Jersey Sound Editor Mike Greenblatt and Chub. Just kidding. I was honored to take my friend backstage to thrill to Popa Chubby recently. We loved him. And so will you at the legendary Stanhope House. known as "The Last Great American Roadhouse," where everyone from Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dr. John and John Lee Hooker have played. 

Supporting Live at G. Bluey’s Juke Joint NYC (Gulf Coast Records), blues-blaster Popa Chubby will also pay tribute to one of his main influences, Jimi Hendrix, at the legendary Stanhope House off Route #80 in Sussex County. “I’d grown up on Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin when I started playing blues in New York clubs,” says Chubby. “I understood that the blues should be dangerous too. It wasn’t just from playing in punk bands. Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters were dangerous men. They’d cut you or shoot you if they thought it was necessary, and Little Walter packed a gun and wouldn’t hesitate to use it. That danger is a real part of the blues and I keep it alive in my music.”
