October 16, 2024: Low Cut Connie has announced his first-ever live album, CONNIE LIVE, set to be released on November 1 via Contender Records. This 13-song collection serves as a companion to Adam Weiner’s concert film and documentary, ART DEALERS, which was recently released theatrically and is now available for purchase on-demand and physically. The recordings were taken from the band’s New York City concerts at Sony Hall and the Blue Note in April 2022, marking the first time Weiner captures the raw power of Low Cut Connie’s live shows on record.
Listen to “Charyse” (Live) from CONNIE LIVE.
About CONNIE LIVE, Adam Weiner explains: “Low Cut Connie is an experiment. It’s always been a collaboration between me, the band, and the audience—to see how high we can climb. This is the first live album I’ve done, and it feels like the capper on a wild decade of work and chaos. As Lou Reed says, ‘My life was saved by rock n roll.’ Here’s to more magic nights together.”
On October 1, Weiner released his ART DEALERS film, receiving praise from various publications, including The Philadelphia Inquirer, Rolling Stone, Dallas Observer, No Film School, Philly Voice, BrooklynVegan, and Film Threat, which awarded it a 9/10 star review, calling it a “must-see documentary.” The film premiered at the Richmond International Film Festival, where it received the 2023 Artistic Vision Award, and continued with screenings at the Philadelphia Film Festival and Minneapolis’ Sound Unseen Music + Film Festival.
Rolling Stone commented on the film, stating, “As a music doc, Art Dealers succeeds on the strength of the musicians it profiles… As a concert film, it expertly summons the sweaty revival that is a Low Cut Connie gig.”
The film’s release follows the one-year anniversary of Low Cut Connie’s studio album ART DEALERS, which The Nashville Scene called “the band’s masterpiece.” No Depression noted, “Experiencing Weiner in his element, whether on the new record ART DEALERS, its accompanying film, or live, is a gift of melody, messages, and community.” Earlier this year, Low Cut Connie released a reimagined version of the single “ARE YOU GONNA RUN?” that was remixed by Little Steven.
