About 10 years ago, Adam Weiner was onstage in a shitty NASCAR bar in Illinois, playing two sets of piano-driven rock & soul for about 30 onlookers. Weiner, who’s Jewish and fronts the band Low Cut Connie, was wearing a Star of David around his neck as he sang and banged on the keys, and the pendant caught the attention of a group of guys, standing arms folded, near the back of the room.
“My guitar player Will Donnelly, who was brand new in the band and also a Jew, goes to get a drink.

Origins is a recurring series that gives artists a space to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, Low Cut Connie runs through his latest single, “Sleaze Me On.”
Philadelphia rocker Low Cut Connie has released “Sleaze Me On,” the latest single from his upcoming album, Art Dealers. Taking a gender-bending perspective and telling the story of a less-than-ideal love, “Sleaze Me On” is yet another fusion of classic rock ‘n’ roll stylings and contemporary indie from Adam Weiner’s piano-rock project.
After an electric piano and a country-rock guitar introduce the song, a groovy rhythm section and Weiner’s attitude-laden vocals ramp up the tune’s swagger to levels previously unreached by man. It’s no wonder, then, that Weiner cites artists like Prince and The Rolling Stones as primary influences.
“I adore Prince. He’s my favorite songwriter,” he says of the former. “He was...

Low Cut Connie is back. “Are You Gonna Run?” is one of frontman Adam Weiner’s first new song in years, following his 2020 album Private Lives.
“Why won’t you tell how it’s gonna go. Tell me now. Why won’t you say what I already know?” sings Weiner on the make-it or break-it love song. “Will you move away when I start getting old? Are you gonna run? Are you gonna run from me baby?”
In February, the singer released “Low Cut Strut” in tribute to DJ Jerry Blavat...

The box was about two feet high and made out of wood, a rudimentary but useful tool to allow Jerry Blavat to get an unencumbered view of his dancers at bars and clubs that didn’t have a proper stage. In his later years, Blavat, a diminutive but supremely influential DJ, placed the box in the middle of the dance floor, hopped upon it like a king on his throne, and began what to some might be considered a shtick, but to those in Philadelphia was the soundtrack of their...

Jerry Lee Lewis, one of the pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll, has died at age 87.
Lewis was known for such iconic rock hits as “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On”.
Born in Ferriday, Louisiana in 1935, Lewis melded the various musical influences — including gospel, blues and country — into a unique piano-driven sound, with his incendiary stage performances earning him the nickname “The Killer”.
In 1956, Lewis entered a Memphis recording studio with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins to form the very first supergroup, dubbed the Million Dollar Quartet.

According to a release issued by the late rocker’s talent agency, Lewis had been in poor health for the past few years, having “abused his body so thoroughly as a young man he was given little chance of lasting through middle age, let alone old age.

Low Cut Connie have released a new video for “Wild Ride,” a track off their latest album, Private Lives.
The clip was directed by Sara Fox and pairs the slow-burning song with a sequence of equally smoldering and mysterious visuals. Throughout the clip, Low Cut Connie frontman Adam Weiner roams the streets of New York City while an unnamed woman waits at an empty bar, stares through stained glass at a subway stop, and then, at the end of the clip, lets out an anguished scream in the middle of a street.
