Kid-friendly New Year

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Dec 28, 2016 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Noon Year’s Eve 2016
Date: Saturday, Dec. 31, at 10 a.m.
Venue: Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s, 200 E. 25th Ave. (Gulf Shores), www.lulubuffett.com
Tickets: Free

While the streets of downtown Mobile will be filled with revelers welcoming 2017, many will be seeking something a little less raucous and a little more kid friendly. For 12 years, Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s has been providing just such a New Year’s Eve alternative, called Noon Year’s Eve.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 31, LuLu’s in Gulf Shores will open its doors to wondrous celebration. Patrons will be entertained with a sandcastle contest, face painting, a petting zoo, and arts and crafts. There will also be a beach-ball drop at noon with “kid-friendly” fireworks.

Noon Year’s Eve 2016 will feature a great soundtrack. Kathleen Rees and Pelican212 will be providing the day’s musical entertainment. Those who have never witnessed the talent of these young performers will be truly amazed. Pelican 212 will bring an electrifying jam session led by identical twin trumpeters Max and Kolbe Rees. While the band members may look young, Pelican212 is guaranteed to deliver a grown-up sound.

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.
