Frampton unplugged

Posted by Stephen Centanni | May 25, 2016 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Peter Frampton
Date: Friday, May 27, at 8 p.m.
Venue: IP Casino, Resort & Spa, 850 Bayview Ave. (Biloxi), www.ipbiloxi.com
Tickets: $45-$65, available through Ticketmaster

The 1970s gave birth to a plethora of guitar greats. These electric stringmasters were known for their epic solos, especially in a live setting. In the annals of rock history, Peter Frampton will always be known for creating memorable songs that were impressive lyrically and instrumentally. Owning Frampton’s masterpiece “Frampton Comes Alive!” is almost a requirement for any ‘70s rock enthusiast. Even today, the voice-box anthems found on this album still enjoy steady radio rotation.

With a new album in hand, Frampton has been giving his audience another interpretation of his most memorable songs. “Acoustic Classics” takes many of Frampton’s biggest hits and delivers them in a stripped-down format. Known for his intricate work on the electric guitar, songs such as “Do You Feel Like I Do,” “Baby, I Love Your Way” and “Show Me the Way” take on a new aural persona. Frampton expertly morphs these arena-rock hits into gentle, emotional anthems.

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.
