Popa Chubby

On Two Dogs, blues singer-guitarist Popa Chubby writes about how the nation has become divided in the wake of the last presidential election. On the evocative title track, he practically raps over a funky guitar riff and rattling percussion. The song comes off as a strong statement. With some swinging horns behind it, “Preexisting Conditions” adopts a soulful vibe as Horowitz sings, “I’m gonna die from preexisting conditions.” All the songs don’t necessarily address our “turbulent times.” The swaggering roadhouse rocker “Rescue Me” serves as a celebration of romantic love. Despite the album's serious tone, expect tonight's show to be a free wheeling good time. Chubby performs at 7:30 at Music Box Supper Club.
