Acclaim for ART DEALERS:
“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.” - No Depression
"Low Cut Connie’s ART DEALERS offers empathetic portraits of people and places that he presumes have been undeservedly ignored or overlooked." - PopMatters
“Weiner
has proven himself to be more than just a stellar songwriter but also
one of the most entertaining live acts currently wheeling a piano across
the country. And ART DEALERS may just be his best album yet." - Glide Magazine
“Low Cut Connie can renew your faith in rock” - Boston Herald
“...one of the most engaging live acts working today.” - The Commercial Appeal
September 8, 2023: Today, the South Philadelphia-based rock ‘n’ roll artist Low Cut Connie released his new album ART DEALERS via Contender Records.
This week, the band kicks off their US tour that will make stops in
Chicago, Nashville, Minneapolis, and New York City, where they will play
a six-show residency at The Blue Note from September 18-20. Find a full
list of tour dates below or visit LowCutConnie.com.
ART DEALERS announced with the lead single “ARE YOU GONNA RUN?” which marked his debut on Billboard’s AAA Radio Chart. The song was praised by Rolling Stone and was supported by dozens of stations including WXPN, The Current, and WFUV. Last month, he appeared on NPR’s World Cafe to perform 4 songs from the album.
The single was followed by “WHIPS AND CHAINS”, which WXPN proclaimed is “perhaps their most rambunctious and hard-hitting track to date,” “SLEAZE ME ON” that Consequence of Sound called a “fusion of classic rock ‘n’ roll stylings and contemporary indie,” and “KING OF THE JEWS,” that led the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to declare, “the process of exploring that side of his identity hits a peak.”
In addition to the new album, Adam Weiner co-directed an 80 minute feature film companion to ART DEALERS
that will premiere at the Richmond International Film Festival later
this month. The film is a hybrid-genre documentary that combines a
stellar run of NYC concerts from 2022 shot at Sony Hall and the Blue
Note, as well as 15 years of performance footage and personal
misadventures that led up to ART DEALERS. The film will screen at additional film festivals this fall with its first public screening to take place this winter.
ART DEALERS follows the band’s critically-acclaimed 2020 album Private Lives and 2021’s Tough Cookies: Best of the Quarantine Broadcasts that was born out of their twice-weekly live-streaming rock and soul variety shows that led The New Yorker to call Weiner the “Pandemic Person of the Year.”
