WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A concert controversy is brewing in Luzerne County over an act that was set to take the stage at this year's Rockin' the River.
The frontman of Philadelphia-based band, Low Cut Connie, is publicly accusing concert promoters of cancelling its Friday night performance due to politics.
The lead singer of the band took to social media to share his frustration over the cancellation, but did not elaborate on those political differences.
