(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- What a double bill! Billy Walton, one of the Tri-State area's busiest, most popular rock guitarists, who fronts high-energy group Billy Walton Band, joins Philly favorites Low Cut Connie for a pre-Christmas banger at Anchor Rock Club on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Doors are at 7:00pm, showtime is 8:00pm. The show is being presented by WXPN.

"We’ve built our touring career via independent venues and the Anchor Rock Club in Atlantic City is one of the coolest," says Walton. "We look forward to supporting Low Cut Connie, a truly unique act out of the Philadelphia area. Those looking for exciting entertainment will definitely get their money’s worth!"

"We're always seeking to perfect our formula of rock/soul/blues, wrapped in psychedelic jams," adds BWB bassist, William Paris.

Anchor Rock Club attendees that night can expect to hear some of the newer BWB tracks - "Knife In My Back," "I Can't Tell," and "Here I Come" -- as well as familiar BWB favorites, "Mountain," "Confusion," and "One In A Million." With the powerful double-lead vocals of Billy Walton and Destinee Monroe, these tracks (written by Walton and Monroe) are fresh and catchy. The Billy Walton Band have done over fouty tours of Europe and Germany, performing there each Fall after their always-busy Jersey Shore Summer season committments.

The Billy Walton Band consists of Billy Walton (lead guitar-vocals); Destinee Monroe (guitar-vocals); William Paris (bass-vocals); Eric Safka (keyboards-vocals); and Dave Moore (drums).

Formed in 2007, the Billy Walton Band grew out of the rich musical heritage of the active Jersey Shore music scene, and found its groove when Billy connected with bassist William Paris. It was the arrival of vocalist extraordinaire Destinee Monroe, however, that helped  propel the group to a whole new level of popularity.

Fronted by guitar wiz and colorful guitarist-vocalist Billy Walton (Southside Johnny, Little Steven, Gary US Bonds) and talented vocalist-guitarist Destinee Monroe, the Billy Walton Band are renowned for their electric, high-energy shows and have a solid, dedicated fan base which continues to grow daily. In addition to blues rock fans, the jam-band scene has also embraced BWB.

Tickets are $25 and available for purchase online. Anchor Rock Club is located at 247 S. New York Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This is an 18+ show.

Headliner Low Cut Connie recently announced his first-ever live album CONNIE LIVE which will be released on November 1, 2024 via Contender Records. The 13-song collection is a companion to Adam Weiner's concert film and documentary ART DEALERS that was recently released theatrically around the country and is now available for purchase on-demand and physically.

The recordings were culled from the band’s New York City concerts at Sony Hall and the Blue Note in April of 2022 and marks the first time Weiner captures the cathartic and chaotic power of Low Cut Connie's live shows on record.

About CONNIE LIVE, Adam Weiner explains: “Low Cut Connie is an experiment. It's always been a collaboration between me, the band and the audience - to see how high we can climb. This is the first live album I've done, and it feels like the capper on a WILD decade of work and chaos. As Lou Reed says, ‘My life was saved by rock n roll.’ Here's to more magic nites together.”
