About Me


What Is Wailing City?
Greetings New Londonites!
"For The Scene, By The Scene"
~ To document, inform, promote & support ~
Wailing City's goal is a community zine/info center/documentation site contributed to by everyone. We are here to shamelessly promote, support and document the arts and music scene of New London County. Wailing City is run by the scene -- it's staff includes local musicians & artists that want to see New London thrive. We welcome everyone to send photos, reviews, blogs, writing, show listings, etc. We will do our best to post everything we receive.
TONS of great shows and events are happening EVERY DAY in the "whaling city"!!! Come out and celebrate all that New London has to offer!Be safe, tip your bartenders & support our scene New London!

What The People Are sayin'
"Wailingcity, is, as of now, probably the most successfully comprehensive listing on local and area shows in Southeastern Connecticut on the Internet; the folks at wailingcity are doing an excellent job of making sounds from the underground..."
-Ben Johnson (music/arts reporter, The New London Day)
"I just want to give a big shout out to Meghan and Shaun at Wailingcity.com for all that they are doing for the City of New London's art and music scenes. I think that they themselves and their online zine and promotion is an invaluable resource. I spoke to Meghan the other day and told her that I wished that there was a resource like them back in the day when I was playing music full-time. I suppose now that I crawled out from under the rock I've been living under for the past five years, I just wanted to thank them for all that they are doing for Zack P, for music, and for my spirit."
-Dayne Duranti (New London county scene enthusiast | Guitarist/singer of Small Town Hero, Doug etc)

ABOUT THE CRITIC: So who's this Adam Wujtewicz guy?

Straight from Adam: "I’m a 25-year-old music junkie with a CD collection of 1400. I’ve got everything from Thelonious Monk to Napalm Death, from Tom Waits to The Stiff Little Fingers. I’ve been a bass player for a couple different bands - (In Transit, Hand Grenade Serenade, and currently for Bedroom Rehab Corporation). I love the New London scene, I think it has a lot to offer and I’ll do what I can to help it along."
