Philadelphia rock and roll act Low Cut Connie released new single “Oh Yeah” on Thursday, April 2, the third preview of his forthcoming album Livin in the USA, out Friday, July 3 via Contender Records.
The same day, frontman Adam Weiner shared a live cover of Prince’s “Little Red Corvette,” recorded at The Current in Minneapolis ahead of the 10th anniversary of Prince’s passing on April 21.
Weiner described the cover as a tribute to an artist whose influence feels more urgent than ever.
“Prince’s music means more now than ever,” Weiner said. “He had a vision of diversity, radical love and openness in his art that is more crucial in today’s America than ever. It was an honor to perform it in Prince’s hometown at The Current, a radio station he loved and supported.”
“Oh Yeah” follows earlier singles “Little Freakers” and the album’s title track. Weiner said the album came together fast and raw, recorded live to tape in a single take after he decided to strip the process back entirely.
“We did this little slice of rock n roll in one quick take, live to tape,” Weiner said. “After that I decided to do the whole album like that — old school — just let it fuckin rip.”
Low Cut Connie plays a sold-out show Saturday, April 12 at City Winery in Manhattan before finishing the remaining solo tour dates. The band returns to New York Friday, May 23 at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on Long Island.
Since forming in 2010, Low Cut Connie has built a following that includes President Barack Obama, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen, and has appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
