Low Cut Connie personifies the way great musical acts have long garnered buzz — by touring relentlessly and blowing people away in person with their music and live presence. In concert, the Philly band’s relentless energy has created undeniable “word of mouth” clout, because practically every single person who witnesses Low Cut Connie perform falls in love with them, ranging from the average music lover who may have stumbled onto them at a club to slightly more famous fans like Elton John and Bruce Springsteen. Even President Obama showed the rock and rollers some love by putting a song of theirs on one of his popular Spotify playlists (it’s unclear whether he’s ever actually rocked out to them live; chances are a mesmerized staffer turned him on).
Driven by frontperson Adam Weiner, Low Cut Connie isn’t quite a household name yet. But with the dedication to touring and the soulful, well-crafted Rock sound exhibited on albums like the most recent effort, Dirty Pictures (Part 2), it seems inevitable that their cultishly loyal fan base will grow to the point where they’ll have to trade in their club reputation for bigger venues somewhere down the line.
8 p.m. Wednesday. $15. Southgate House Revival, 111 E. Sixth St., Newport, Ky., southgatehouse.com.
