Callaghan’s keeps it all in the family

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Jul 1, 2015 | The Rundown | 0 |

Mobile’s favorite neighborhood pub will welcome patrons home from their Independence Day celebrations with another landmark show July 8, when Callaghan’s Irish Social Club hosts Secret Sisters for a healthy dose of Americana, with Mobile’s Deluxe Trio opening.

The Muscle Shoals duo consists of actual sisters Laura and Lydia Rogers. With a firm grasp on musical tradition and a batch of warm harmonies, the Rogers sisters quickly gathered a national audience after their self-titled debut, which was produced by the iconic T Bone Burnett. Mesmerized by their sound, Jack White brought the duo into his studio to collaborate on covers of “Big River” and “Wabash Cannonball.”

The Secret Sisters will rattle the bones of 50 ticket holders at Callaghan’s July 8.

“Put Your Needle Down” is the Secret Sisters’ second release, also produced by Burnett. Released in 2014, the album sold 3,700 copies and reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. Their homespun charm and polished delivery should make this one of Callaghan’s biggest shows of the year. Mobile’s Deluxe Trio will provide support.

Tickets are on sale at Callaghan’s for $30, and only 50 will be sold. Local music lovers shouldn’t wait until the last minute to purchase tickets for this show; act now.

D.R.E.A.D. gains Northeast foothold  
Mobile metal band D.R.E.A.D. has been traversing the nation lately and made a pit stop at Jupiter Records in Wilmington, Delaware, to introduce the store to its album “Test of Time.” Store owners apparently liked what they heard, and offered to feature “Test of Time” in its inventory.

Locals can welcome D.R.E.A.D. back to the Azalea City when they open for Psychostick on Thursday, July 30, at Alchemy Tavern.

Slog to Birmingham for Sloss Fest
Many locals will be traveling upstate for the two-day Sloss Music and Arts Festival, July 18 and 19 at the Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in downtown Birmingham. The extensive lineup includes Modest Mouse, The Avett Brothers, Primus, Band of Horses, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Sturgill Simpson, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant, Lord Huron and many more.

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.
