Low Cut Connie joins host Stephen Kallao
Low Cut Connie has always been about letting loose. But on Livin’ in the U.S.A., frontman Adam Weiner wrestles with a country filled with fear and division. Recorded live to one-inch tape, the band’s eighth album makes room for both hard truths and pure joy. On the World Cafe, Adam talks about canceling his Kennedy Center show, finding hope in young fans, and why sometimes you just need to skinny-dip.
