Low Cut Connie

LOW CUT CONNIE

Piano rock is cool again, thanks to Adam Weiner and company, bringing a nostalgic cool to their very now modern rock ‘n’ roll. “I think rock ‘n’ roll exists to be a red-blooded, countercultural medium,” says Weiner, who has performed under the Low Cut Connie moniker for more than a decade. “You’re supposed to get your hair messed up,” he says.

Beginning as an impromptu recording session in 2010, Low Cut Connie gradually evolved into a vehicle for Weiner’s songwriting and onstage persona. The band has earned praise for its high-energy live performances, which Los Angeles Weekly described in 2013 as “unmatched in all of rock right now.” NPR Music described Weiner as “masterfully fluent in the foundational languages of Western pop.” Elton John dedicated a song to Low Cut Connie at a concert in Philadelphia last year and Barack Obama put a Low Cut Connie song on a Spotify playlist 10 years ago.

For years now, Low Cut Connie has built its grassroots coalition of oddballs, underdogs and fun-loving weirdos with songs that celebrate life on the fringes of polite society. The band’s infamously wild, passionate live shows provide a total release of stress, inhibition and shame, working up a primordial rock ‘n’ roll sweat for fans to get blissfully soaked in. Come get the full Connie treatment at the Pony for what’s going to be an unforgettable night in Asbury Park.
