Sea shanties on the seashore

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Nov 18, 2020 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Dennis O’Hagan’s Great Brewery Tour
Date: Saturday, Nov. 21 at 5:30 p.m.
Venue: Big Beach Brewing Company, 300 E. 24th Ave. (Gulf Shores), bigbeachbrewing.com
Tickets: Free

Singer-songwriter Dennis O’Hagan is bringing his long-running “Great Brewery Tour” to Big Beach Brewing Company. This Irish transplant has spent more than three decades entertaining audiences with his musical talent. Over his career, O’Hagan has performed in various indie and alt. rock outfits such as the Voodoo Loons. Both as a solo artist and with a band, O’Hagan has shared the stage with bands such as Violent Femmes, The Church, Blue Oyster Cult and more. Now, this singer-songwriter is focusing on his love for craft beer and music with an extensive tour that has been rolling since 2018.

The Great Brewery Tour is a chance for O’Hagan to spread his music while sampling some of the nation’s best brews. As he performs, O’Hagan drinks offerings from the craft brewery where he is performing. Afterward, he reviews the evening’s samples on his blog. Since starting the tour, O’Hagan has visited 200 craft breweries in 25 states.

 In addition to “an eclectic mixture of traditional music, sea shanties and some covers,” O’Hagan will entertain his audience with a number of original songs from his career. Considering his work with the Voodoo Loons, O’Hagan will have a collection of unplugged rock anthems that are truly alternative. Vocally, his work with the Voodoo Loons is reminiscent of Frank Black from the Pixies. Instrumentally, this sound is painted in shades of The Afghan Whigs. While his solo EP has yet to be released, O’Hagan’s live shows should provide a preview of things to come from this interesting songwriter.

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.
