The next big thing

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Aug 14, 2019 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Brigham Cason
Date: Thursday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m.
Venue: Callaghan’s Irish Social Club, 916 Charleston St., callaghansirishsocialclub.com
Tickets: Free


Even though he may only be 18 years old, singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Brigham Cason is already well on his way to establishing his place in the music world. 

This Baldwin County native’s dedication to music has been evident throughout his teens. Cason spent two years as a member of the Mobile Symphony Youth Orchestra. He also honed his musical skills during his time with both the Alabama All-State Band and the Alabama All-State Jazz Band. 

In 2015, Cason decided to showcase his songwriting talents at the Gulf Coast Songwriter Shootout and made it to the finals. Since then, he has been spreading his homegrown music across Mobile and Baldwin counties as both a solo artist and the frontman of the Brigham Cason Trio.

 When he takes the stage at Callaghan’s, Cason’s set will include cuts from his 2017 self-titled debut. For this effort, he traveled to Muscle Shoals to record in the iconic confines of FAME Studios and Big Star Recording Studio. 

This album features 10 tracks that resonate with a creative maturity well beyond Cason’s years. His emotive vocal work is carried through the album by arrangements that trip across roots-rock, blues and soul with a touch of modern Americana. Whether performing solo or with a band, Cason has crafted a sound that could be a harbinger of bigger things to come.

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.
