Low Cut Connie Announces Protest Album & Shares ‘Livin In The USA’ Title Track

Low Cut Connie, Philadelphia-based musician Adam Weiner, detailed a forthcoming self-described protest album, Livin In The USA. Weiner shared the title track from the LP set for release on July 3 through Contender Records.

Weiner captured Livin In The USA on analog 1-inch tape. Each of the 10 tracks was recorded in a single take. Weiner took inspiration from albums by Prince, Sly & The Family Stone, Bruce Springsteen, Marvin Gaye and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Last February, Weiner was among the first musicians to back out of performing at The Kennedy Center. That experience, along with traveling the United States on tour, informed the lyrical content of “Livin In The USA.”

A portion of Weiner’s extensive mission statement regarding Livin In The USA follows:

“I made a protest album about the times we are living through in America 2026. It’s called Livin In The USA. I made it because I am disgusted to see our country descend into an authoritarian hell a moral vacuum and a place where art does not lead the cultural conversation.

This album, believe it or not, is also a party album because I refuse to let these motherfuckers steal our art and steal our joy It is time to reclaim it.

This country goddamn right invented rock n roll, hip hop, jazz, R&B.. Music with soul communicates on a level that no algorithm or tech bro or artificial intelligence or political machinery can ever understand or contain. America created these table-flipping artforms.

Rock ‘n’ roll is a table-flipping artform. It’s time to flip the table again.”

Low Cut Connie will head out on the Livin In The USA Solo Tour, presenting “a feel-good non-denominational spiritual experience mixing music, comedy and protest.” The 14-show tour begins in Chicago on March 3.
