Boyfriend empowers

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Jan 22, 2020 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Boyfriend with members of The Revivalists
Date: Friday, Jan. 24 at 9 p.m.
Venue: The Merry Widow, 51 S. Conception St., themerrywidow.net
Tickets: $15 available through the venue’s website

Senior Bowl weekend has arrived in Mobile. Over this three-day period, the city will play host to a number of special events to complement this annual sporting event. Among the numerous activities happening throughout the weekend, Boyfriend’s performance at The Merry Widow should be one of the most exciting. Boyfriend has no shortage of fans in the Azalea City. This avant-garde musical maven from the Crescent City has tripped across the worlds of hip hop and pop while releasing some of the industry’s most impressive sounds. Along the way, Boyfriend has empowered her audiences with an unfiltered lyrical delivery that some find controversial and others find irresistible.

While her music is unforgettable, Boyfriend’s live performances are undeniably electrifying. Her “Rap Cabaret” mixes enlightening concepts and edgy costuming that are truly one of a kind. Last time she visited Mobile, Boyfriend brought a live band experience in the form of Khris Royal & Dark Matter. This proved to be one of her most memorable Azalea City shows to date. For this visit, Boyfriend plans on topping her previous show with members of another local favorite from New Orleans: Several members of The Revivalists will be laying a sonic foundation upon which Boyfriend will layer on her musical prose.

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.
