Public Song Project 2024, featuring Low Cut Connie

All this week, as part of the launch of the 2024 Public Song Project, we're debuting contributions from professional musicians and friends of WNYC. Today we hear a piano blues tune from Adam Weiner of Low Cut Connie. After the song, we're joined by Ambre Dromgoole, Cornell University assistant professor in the department of Africana studies, to dive more into the history of blues in the 1920s and, in particular, the leading women of the era.
