Low Cut Connie's Adam Weiner Launches Syndicated Radio Show, 'The Connie Club'

The Connie Club

LOW CUT CONNIE’s ADAM WEINER announced a new syndicated radio show, "THE CONNIE CLUB," that will air on non-commercial and Triple A radio stations beginning OCTOBER 5th. The show is an hour-long "slice-of-life" broadcast where host WEINER spins SATURDAY night music of various genres, plays his junky piano SHONDRA, and interviews local heroes and celebrity guests.

The show will air every weekend on MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO station KCMP (THE CURRENT)/MINNEAPOLS, RADIO WOODSTOCK (WOODSTOCK, NY), WXPN/PHILADELPHIA), WFPK/Louisville, KY, WYEP/P/PITTSBURGH and COLORADO INDIE 102.3/DENVER. Visit www.lowcutconnie.com/connieclub for details. The first slate of guests include BIG FREEDIA, CAROLINE ROSE, CAIT O'RIORDAN, among others. "THE CONNIE CLUB" is presented in partnership with BEN & JERRY'S and LAGUNITAS BREWING COMPANY. 

The show will be available stream on THE CURRENT's website. 

The show grew out of a conversation between WEINER and THE CURRENT’s DAVID SAFAR and JIM McGUINN about how to capture the wild raw abandon all three believed to be possible but seldom heard on the radio. As WEINER developed the show, THE CURRENT team was on board to help him shape his vision into sound.

Explained WEINER, "I grew up listening to these crazy freewheeling FM radio shows in PHILLY and NEW JERSEY. I love those shows where people get up and sing karaoke live on the radio and do shout-outs. Local flavor to the max. I built THE CONNIE CLUB to try to make people feel that wild sloshy dive bar energy. Everyone is welcome, everyone is feeling good, dancing, getting crazy and making mistakes with their lives. It's a warm-hearted sexy vibe. We have local regulars and special guests who drop by. Our guests sing a dive bar version of one of their songs and tell wild stories from the road." 

LOW CUT CO NNIE recently announced the AZZ ACROSS AMERICA tour with BIG FREEDIA that kicks off on OCTOBER 24th in ATLANTA. Last year, the band  made their network television debut on LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MYERS.
