Adams brings ‘Summer of ’69’ to Summer of ’19

Posted by Stephen Centanni | May 8, 2019 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Bryan Adams
Date: Friday, May 10 at 8 p.m.
Venue: The Amphitheater at The Wharf, 23325 Wharf Ln., alwharf.com
Tickets: $19.53-$93.53 available through Ticketmaster

One of Canada’s most popular musical exports will be performing beachside at The Wharf. In 1983, Bryan Adams used the title track of his third album “Cuts Like a Knife” to gather thousands of new fans around the globe. A year later, Adams added to his fan base and radio rotations with “Reckless.” This album spawned timeless hits such as “Summer of ’69,” “Run to You” and “One Night Love Affair.” As the ’80s turned into the ’90s, Adams continued to release number one songs such as “Please Forgive Me,” “All for Love” (featuring Sting and Rod Stewart) and “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman.”

More than three decades later, Adams is still on the road and releasing new music. When he arrives in Orange Beach, Adams will be giving the crowd a live taste of his latest album “Shine a Light.” With the exception of the album’s modern production, Adams has not swayed from his original sonic formula. This album is filled with clean, traditional rock regaling listeners with vivid portraits of life.

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.
