Rehab’s farewell includes stop at Soul Kitchen

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Feb 20, 2014 | The Rundown | 0 |

Before their breakout hit “Bartender (Sittin’ at a Bar),” Georgia-based band Rehab had a legion of fans throughout the Southeast. This group tripped effortlessly across musical genres with their hybrid of rock, hip-hop and country, to eventually establish a loyal cult following across the nation.

After spending a decade of performing more than 150 shows a year, Rehab has decided to bid farewell to the music world. Before they say their goodbyes, Rehab will be giving America one last taste of their music with a 49-city tour that will bring them to Soul Kitchen on Thursday, Feb. 27.

“Our fans have been so loyal throughout the years,” said Danny Boone and Demun Jones on the band’s website. “We are so excited to get back out there on the road and play the hits, as well as some of the new music that we have both been working on.”

After Rehab finishes this tour, Boone and Jones will continue on with individual solo projects. The Georgia group could not have picked a better time to say goodbye to their Azalea City fans, and this show should be one of the shining moments of the Mardi Gras season.

• Lagniappe has continued to update the public on the Jason Aldean concert at The Amphitheater at The Wharf. This show has evolved from a one-night event into a two-night extravaganza. According to a recent news release, Aldean will make history, as he becomes the first artist to perform three consecutive nights at The Amphitheater at The Wharf. With Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr lending support, Aldean will perform March 11-13. Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster at the box office at The Amphitheater at The Wharf.

• The line-up for Hangout Fest’s Thursday night pre-party has been announced. There will be a little something for all musical tastes for this warm-up for the world’s largest beach party. Girl Talk will be mixing and mashing up tracks for the crowd. He will be matched with a DJ set from Britain’s Bonobo. Indie rockers Bombay Bicycle Club will also be appearing. Wolfmother will bring their classically influenced rock from Down Under to the Gulf Coast.

Those in attendance will get a taste of folk rock from Iron & Wine. Hip-hop up-and-comer Danny Brown will provide some verbal goodness. Dumpstaphunk will be representing the Big Easy with their jams. The party will start early this year with gates at 4 p.m. Tickets are on sale now through the Hangout Fest website.

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.
