Get tribal

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Dec 6, 2017 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Flow Tribe
Date: Friday, Dec. 8, 7 p.m.
Venue: Fairhope Brewing Co., 914 Nichols Ave. (Fairhope), www.fairhopebrewing.com
Tickets: $10 at the door

In addition to an obsession with malt and hops, Fairhope Brewing Co. is also known for its love of music. This Eastern Shore craft brewery boasts brews dedicated to local artists as well as memorable live music events. This year, Fairhope Brewing is bringing the Mobile Bay area an early Christmas gift from the Big Easy.

New Orleans new-school funk band Flow Tribe will fill the evening with righteous Crescent City grooves. This band has collected a number of fans through its local high-energy local shows. When it takes the stage at Fairhope Brewing, the crowd will get a heavy dose of sounds from the group’s latest effort, “Boss.”

When Flow Tribe entered the studio, it looked to hip-hop producer Mannie Fresh for guidance. Traditionally, Fresh has been known for his work with Lil’ Wayne, Juvenile, UGK and The Notorious B.I.G.

With an overall bottom-end warmth embracing this album, “Boss” features an eclectic mix of smooth soul rhythms and electrifying funk grooves. Flow Tribe’s horn section collection injects a bold dose of New Orleans brass throughout the album. With its thoughtful song arrangement both individually and as a collection, “Boss” serves as a harbinger of Flow Tribe’s evolution.

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.
