Description
Since Low Cut Connie's debut record Get Out The Lotion, 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, “Low Cut Connie’s word-of-mouth legend is built on live shows like this one.” Sweat-drenched, piano-pounding songwriter and frontman Adam Weiner’s writing has been described as “Seventies Stones (but dirtier), the New York Dolls (but tighter) and Jerry Lee Lewis (but Westerberg-ier)” (Rolling Stone).
Low Cut Connie made unprecedented strides in 2018 as they released their 5th studio album Dirty Pictures (Part 2) via Contender Records. In August 2018, Low Cut Connie made their network television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers where they performed the rollicking album opener “All These Kids Are Way Too High.” That following month, the band, who can already count Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen, and Nick Hornby as fans, received a shoutout from Sir Elton John when he took the stage at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. Sir Elton John dedicated “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” to the sold out crowd and said, “There’s a band that I love at the moment so much called Low Cut Connie...They’re amazing.”
With Support from: Will Dailey
Will Dailey's sound has been described as a venn diagram of multiple genres with a rich vintage vibe channeled through his authentic, wry and energetic performances. He has shared the stage and studio with Eddie Vedder, Willie Nelson, Roger McGuinn, Kay Hanley, G Love, Steve Earle, and Tanya Donelly. In June of 2013 he was featured on a Stephen King/John Mellencamp project produced by T Bone Burnett called Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County. Dailey has played at Farm Aid four times alongside Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp. His latest album, Golden Walker, was released summer of 2018 and hit #1 on Billboards Northeast Heat seekers. In 2021 Dailey set out to play 100 shows across America, sharing stages with Brandi Carlile, Sharon Van Etten and Pearl Jam. In summer of 2022 Dailey released his single “Easy to Be Around”. The single slides into a second track that lists the full credits from the instrumentalists to the cover artist and all the audio engineers in between. In 2023 Dailey embarked on another project called The 10 Dollar Song: A concept where a new composition called "Cover of Clouds" was available exclusively on his merch table, never to be released physically or on digital platforms. People pay what they want to listen to it once on a disc-man and headphones. In an era of music history that’s ruled by algorithms, the double-single of sorts could be considered a risk, but Will Dailey disrupts industry norms - not the other way around.
