media release: Low Cut Connie released his hybrid concert film and documentary, ART DEALERS, via Dark Star Pictures on Oct. 1. The film is now available for purchase digitally and video on demand. The release follows a 10-city screenings tour that made stops in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and more that featured in-theater acoustic performances and Q&A interviews with hosts such as Variety’s Chris Willman, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, and Tune-Yards. 

Low Cut Connie will hit the road for a full band headline tour that kicks off on Tuesday, October 8 in Portland, ME and will make stops in Boston, Jersey City, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Chicago and many more.

"There is magic in these sweaty little clubs when we play. It's an indescribable feeling that takes over and raises all of us above the reality of our circumstances. Somehow the film really captures that feeling, and I'm completely blown away by the reaction to it so far,” reflects Adam Weiner.

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 was covered by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Rolling Stone, Dallas Observer, No Film School, Philly Voice, BrooklynVegan and many more. Last year, ART DEALERS premiered 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. 

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.
