Low Cut Connie joins host Raina Douris

When tours and concerts were cancelled indefinitely due to the pandemic, Low Cut Connie frontman Adam Weiner could not stop performing. Since mid-March, he’s been hosting live shows twice a week from his South Philadelphia home, in a web series he calls “Tough Cookies.” Nine months later, it’s still going, and audiences are tuning in around the globe. Today, in a special Tough Cookies-World Cafe crossover episode, Adam performs a whole bunch of music live, and we’ll hear his thoughts on being an entertainer, and about Low Cut Connie’s new album, Private Lives.
