Band: Bellingrath’s Beers & Blooms
Date: Saturday, March 6 at noon
Venue: Bellingrath Gardens and Home, 12401 Bellingrath Gardens Road, bellingrath.org
Tickets: $25 advance, $30 day-of available at bellingrath.org

Spring is slowly creeping into the area. In South Mobile County, the flora covering the grounds of Bellingrath Gardens and Home is preparing to explode with a pageantry of blooms. This historic destination is taking advantage of the seasonable weather with an event that could be a new local tradition.

Bellingrath’s Beers & Blooms will feature an extensive lineup of beer from 13 craft breweries from around the Southeast. Participating breweries include Avondale, Back Forty, Black Warrior, Braided River, Fairhope, Ghost Train, Grayton Beer, Old Majestic, Oyster City, Props, Second Line, Serda and Yellowhammer. In between sips, attendees can stroll amongst food trucks and vendors. In true Mobile fashion, Bellingrath’s Beers & Blooms will also feature a lineup of local bands to provide an eclectic soundtrack that should please all musical tastes.

Lee Yankie will set the tone for the event. For years, this local artist has pulled crowds with both his original material and longstanding favorites. When he takes the stage, Yankie makes his presence known with a thrilling live show. Epic jams are constructed on the foundation of Yankie’s guitar mastery. 

Since the demise of The Sideliners, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Dreibelbis has been concentrating on his own material. The Ryan Dreibelbis Band’s set will be a chance to sample this promising up-and-comer’s debut single, “Where We Started.” This song delivers a smooth, hypnotic dose of indie-pop laced with soul and R&B. Dreibelbis is maintaining a creative momentum that serves as a harbinger for a studio release.

Azalea City diva Symone French will be on the scene with her Trouille Troupe. French and her collective of talented local musicians have been thrilling crowds along the Gulf Coast with a soulful mix of originals and covers. In the live setting, Symone French & the Trouille Troupe brings a bright and lively musical experience filled with energetic grooves that are emotionally overwhelming.

Nerf the World will be the headliner for Bellingrath’s Beers & Blooms. This trio consists of Chris Spies (keyboards), Brooks Hubbert III (guitar) and John Milham (drums). With the members’ respective backgrounds steeped in improv, each Nerf the World show is truly a unique experience. Hopefully, the denizens of the Azalea City will soon be getting a studio album from this great band.

About The Author

Stephen Centanni

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.
