Low Cut Connie 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.”

On October 1, Weiner released his ART DEALERS film to praise from The Philadelphia InquirerRolling Stone, Dallas ObserverNo Film SchoolPhilly VoiceBrooklynVegan and Film Threat, who in their 9/10 star review proclaimed “ART DEALERS is a must-see documentary.” It premiered last year at the Richmond International Film Festival (where it was awarded with their 2023 Artistic Vision Award), and was followed by screenings at the Philadelphia Film Festival and Minneapolis’ Sound Unseen Music + Film Festival.

Rolling Stone spoke with Weiner about the film, proclaiming “As a music doc, Art Dealers succeeds on the strength of the musicians it profiles: not just the group’s flamboyant frontman, but the ragtag bunch of players who join him as he schleps his piano around the country. As a concert film, it expertly summons the sweaty revival that is a Low Cut Connie gig by culling the best from three shows at New York’s Sony Hall and jazz outpost the Blue Note.”

The film’s release follows the one year anniversary of Low Cut Connie’s studio album ART DEALERS, which The Nashville Scene called “the band’s masterpiece.” No Depression proclaimed “Experiencing Weiner in his element, whether on the new record ART DEALERS, its accompanying film, or live, is a gift of melody, messages, and community.” Earlier this year, Low Cut Connie released a reimagined version of the album’s single “ARE YOU GONNA RUN?” that was remixed by Little Steven and adds his signature lead guitar and backing vocals.

EVENT PREVIEWS

Winners

Winners of the Spring 2026 New Jersey Film Festival Competition Announced!

The Competition component of the Spring 2026 New Jersey Film Festival has just concluded! Overall, we had a good festival this year.  We had a few screenings that were very well attended and a bunch with lower turnouts but that happens every festival for a variety of reasons.  The in-person show attendance was about the same as our Festival last year, but the online viewership is what has kept us afloat financially since COVID broke in 2020. All the Official Selection works of the Spring 2026 New Jersey Film Festival were selected by a panel of judges including media professionals, journalists, students, and academics. These judges selected the 33 finalists which were publicly screened at our Festival. The finalists were selected from over 600 works submitted by filmmakers from around the world. In addition, the judges chose the Prize Winners in conjunction with the Festival Director. Here below are the winners of the Festival.
