Abe Partridge debut

Posted by Stephen Centanni | May 18, 2016 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Abe Partridge Album Release Party
Friday, May 20, at 8 p.m.The Listening Room, 78 St. Francis St.,www.thelisteningroom.com
Tickets: $10 artist donation at the door

Writers can expound only on what they know. Typically, a person who has lived an eventful and/or varied life collects a wealth of inspiration for songs, stories or both. Mobilian Abe Partridge’s life has taken him from the church pulpit to the venue stage. Along the way, his life experiences have allowed him to gather the lyrics and melodies for his debut album, “White Trash Lipstick.”

When Partridge was 18, he journeyed into the world with aspirations of becoming a minister. Before accepting a ministerial position in Kentucky, he delved into the world of a hardworking day laborer. Partridge left the ministry for the Air Force and served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Throughout his life, Partridge exceled as a songwriter and crafted many pieces that were only performed within the home, until just last year.

Partridge recorded “White Trash Lipstick” in Nashville and the album features a beautiful lineup of alt. country tunes. The light rasp of Partridge’s vocals mixes well with the unspoiled work on the acoustic guitar. This vocal quality is also fitting for the subject matter of an album filled with whiskey-drenched tales of a simple life that is both tragic and beautiful.

About The Author

Stephen Centanni

With the exception of two years spent at Auburn University, Steve Centanni has spent his life in Mobile County while focusing on his two passions: music and the written word. As soon as he was issued his driver’s license, Centanni began to explore the local music scene in the early ‘90s. He filled his weekend with visits classic local venues such as the Four Strong Winds Coffee House, Vincent Van Go-Go’s and Culture Shock, all of which welcomed those who had yet to reach 18. After high school, Centanni traded Mobile for Auburn to complete his B.A. in English with an emphasis on general writing. While at Auburn, he had the honor of studying under the Pulitzer-winning poet Natasha Trethewey, who served as the nation’s Poet Laureate in 2012 and 2014. After receiving his diploma, Centanni quickly moved back to Mobile and completed the University of South Alabama’s graduate program with a M.Ed. Eventually, he was tapped by the nationally distributed Volume Entertainment Magazine to serve as the magazine’s managing editor/senior writer. His time with Volume allowed him to exercise his love for both music and writing. As Volume began to fade, Lagniappe recruited Centanni as their Music Writer and later their Music Editor, where he has remained for a little over a decade. As far as his involvement in the local music scene, Centanni organized Cess Fest at the Langan Park, which was a mini-festival focused on original local music in a time when original local music was veritably taboo in Downtown Mobile. For a short time, he brought original music to Downtown Mobile as the in-house promoter for the now deceased venue Cell Block. He managed local underground powerhouse Fry Cook, until the members parted ways. Centanni has lent his bass to bands such as Keychain Pistol and The F’n A-Holes, and he toured nationally as a member of Abstract Artimus & the Torture Children. Currently, he provides vocals for the garage blues rock outfit Johnny No. Ultimately, Centanni’s experience in the local music scene as both a participant and an observer has allowed him to witness the ever-changing persona of Mobile’s enigmatic music scene, which continues to leave him with more questions than answers.
