Today, Low Cut Connie and WXPN announced “The Connie Club,” Adam Weiner’s weekly radio show that will air exclusively on WXPN and XPN.org starting Saturday, June 1 at 5:00 pm EST. The freewheeling hour-long program will air for 10 weeks throughout the summer alongside a series of “Connie Club Live” tapings that will occur on June 13, July 11, and August 8 at Ardmore Music Hall. These limited capacity live tapings will feature Low Cut Connie live with a full band with a variety of special guests from the worlds of music, comedy, and sports. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 12.
Following on the heels of Weiner’s successful Tough Cookies series and inspired by vintage freeform FM radio broadcasts, The Connie Club will integrate vinyl records, interviews, spontaneous live performances, comedy and audience participation.
“We are gonna heat up the airwaves all summer. We could all afford to let loose and blow off some steam this summer, and I aim to have The Connie Club be a sonic place where we can all do just that,” explains Weiner. “These live events are gonna be a smash. Low Cut Connie will be the house band for a bunch of killer special guests including legendary musicians, comedians, and athletes. It’s gonna be wild and loose and good for the soul.”
WXPN’s Bruce Warren adds, “Adam’s always a cool and fun hang, either in the club with the band, or on the air when he’s playing records and telling stories. We’re psyched to have him rockin’ The Connie Club on the XPN airwaves this summer.”
