‘Drugs’-fueled homecoming

Band: Jesh Yancey & Friends
Date: Friday, Jan. 14 at 10 p.m.
Venue: Brickyard Dauphin Street, 266 Dauphin St., 251-219-6488
Tickets: Call for more info

 

While he might not have lived in Mobile long, singer-songwriter Jesh Yancey established his place in the local music scene. Not only did he exhibit a passion for music, but he also displayed a passion for promoting local music. While here, Yancey gathered a backing band called The High Hopes and began performing at venues along the Gulf Coast. 

Eventually, life plucked him from Alabama and relocated him to Colorado, but Yancey has maintained his connections to Mobile. Now, Yancey is returning to Mobile to not only visit his friends but also perform for his local fans at the Brickyard Dauphin Street.

Yancey’s setlist will include tracks from his solo album, “Livers and Diers,” and his The High Hopes albums, “Maybe It’s the Drugs” and “Lonesome Demonstrations.” Throughout both albums, Yancey proves himself to be a student of American music. From rock to folk to blues, Yancey’s songs pull from numerous genres to create a warm blanket of sound accented by tendencies to jam. While his tracks sound great in the studio, Yancey’s music is best experienced in the live setting.

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.
