(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- The pandemic shut down concerts last year and led many artists to start live streaming. Adam Weiner of Low Cut Connie began performing twice a week in March 2020 with a show that became known as "Tough Cookies." Now that the band can tour again, "Tough Cookies" is no longer twice a week, but the show was such a hit among fans that they will continue to create special episodes and one will be broadcast from The Saint in Asbury Park on Saturday, November 20 at 5:30pm. The show features special in-person guest Bettye Lavette and an interview with Go-Go's drummer, Gina Schock.
Low Cut Connie lost about 60 shows in 2020 due to the pandemic, including performances at South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas and a main stage slot at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
This past March, the band celebrated the 1-year anniversary of "Tough Cookie"s and released a new album to commemorate it called Tough Cookies: The Best of The Quarantine Broadcasts in May.
The band's latest release, Private Lives, came out in October 2020 to rave reviews. It ultimately earned its place at #34 on Rolling Stone’s “50 best Albums of 2020” list, #4 on Fresh Air’s Ken Tucker’s ten best albums of the year, and #1 on PopMatters’ “25 Best Americana Albums of 2020” list. Capping off the year, The New Yorker dubbed Adam Weiner “Pandemic Person of the Year.” The album’s last single, the title track “Private Lives,” was also one of “Public Radio’s Most Popular Songs Of 2020.”
Tickets for the show are $50 - $60 and are available for purchase online. The show is open to 18 and over. The Saint is located at 601 Main Street in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
