Low Cut Connie, with opener Robert Finley

Since Low Cut Connie’s debut record Get Out the Lotion (NPR’s Fresh Air Top 10 albums of 2011), they’ve firmly established their reputation as one of the most exciting live shows in the US, with Greg Kot (Sound Opinions / Chicago Tribune) exclaiming they are “the essence of what rock n’ roll should be” and the New York Times stating “The group’s live show is a strange phenomenon.”

Adam Weiner’s $100 junker piano, named Shondra, is the backbone of their boogie strain of rock n’ roll. Recently adding longtime Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings member Saundra Williams, the result is what Rolling Stone describes as “a mix of Seventies Stones (but dirtier), the New York Dolls (but tighter) and Jerry Lee Lewis (but Westerberg-ier)…with an extra sense of bare-knuckled grit and sonic thwump.”
