“The Greatest Rock And Roll Band You Never Heard Of” Book Tour with Marcus Mason & Hit The Ground Runnin’
Meet Marcus Mason, Toronto-based author of the non-fiction biography book about the seemingly unknown tale of Delco-based rock band, Hit the Ground Runnin’, on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.
“The Greatest Rock And Roll Band You Never Heard Of” tells the one-of-a-kind story of the band who, in Dick Clark’s words, would be “The next big thing.”
From performing regularly on “Dance Party USA,” to losing a major management deal to a flip of a coin to Warrant, to writing songs for “Rocky V” and “Backdraft,” and being turned down by every major record company, embraking on a national tour of Canada, and becaming stuck between elite management and a payola scandal, there is quite the story to tell.
Fitting of the book title “The Greatest Rock And Roll Band You Never Heard Of”, Hit the Ground Runnin’ has played alongside some of the greatest acts in the hard rock genre including the likes of Britny Fox, Cinderella, Tangier, Blue Oyster Cult, Aldo Nova, and Blue Murder, and yet no one has ever heard of them!
With their original CD selling for over $1,900 a copy, the band has earned quite the cult status within the Hard Rock scene and has ever since been waiting for their first national debut out of the underground world where they have remained for so many years.
Come out to hear their story and meet members from the original band; Paul Piccari, Jimmy Katone, and Alan Augunas!
In addition to copies of the book, CDs and a special vinyl copy of their first 45 will be available for purchase.

Low Cut Connie Album Release Party with Adam Weiner
We’re kicking off our 10th anniversary week on Tuesday, August 22nd at 6 p.m. with a Low Cut Connie “Art Dealers” Album Release Party with a special appearance by Adam Weiner.
Pre-order the new record, their seventh studio album, and hear some of the latest album tracks! There’s no need to register. The first 50 people to arrive will receive a wristband for entrance.
Based out of Philadelphia, Low Cut Connie has become the alter ego for frontman, pianist, and songwriter Adam Weiner. Beginning as an impromptu recording session in 2010, Low Cut Connie gradually evolved into a vehicle for Weiner’s songwriting and his onstage persona. The band has earned praise for its high-energy live performances from The Philadelphia Inquirer, WXPN, Los Angeles Weekly, and NPR Music to name a few.
Low Cut Connie has also gained notoriety for attracting high-profile endorsements such as a surprise inclusion on Barack Obama’s Spotify Summer Playlist in 2015, and a personal association with Elton John, who has called the band one of his favorites.
The band recently performed at WMMR’s MMRBQ, Downstage @ the Mann with Chill Moody, a concert which explored the intersection of hip-hop, rock, and visual art, and they’re on the Sunday lineup of the XPoNential Music Festival in September.
