Overview

• County Manager Romilda Crocamo confirmed that the July 25 Low Cut Connie performance was canceled to keep Rockin’ the River “free of politics and propaganda.”
• The band’s spot was filled by Halfway to Hell, an AC/DC tribute act, while other scheduled performers remain on the lineup.
• Frontman Adam Weiner said the cancellation reflected organizers’ discomfort with his group’s protest songs and criticism of the Trump administration.
• Low Cut Connie has since received relocation offers for shows in King of Prussia, Allentown, Scranton and elsewhere around Wilkes-Barre.
• The decision highlights local officials’ caution in a county that gave President Trump 59 percent of its vote and their effort to avoid dividing audiences.
