Band: John Butler Trio, Dustin Thomas
Date: Tuesday, Dec. 4, with doors at 7 p.m.
Venue: Soul Kitchen, 219 Dauphin St., soulkitchenmobile.com
Tickets: $31-$68.50, available at venue website, Mellow Mushroom (Mobile locations) or 1-866-777-8932

John Butler Trio’s first live show in the Mobile Bay area back in 2006 is still lauded by those who were there. This Australian band spent a warm, beautiful Sunday afternoon at Felix’s Fish Camp laying out their exotic roots rock for an adoring crowd. Since then many locals have been anticipating the trio’s return, and are about to get their wish.

John Butler Trio will play Soul Kitchen Dec. 4 for an evening filled with such hits as “Better Than,” “Zebra” and “Used to Get High,” as well as new tracks from the album “Home.” The trio’s latest effort features songs that showcase the band’s maturity since their “Grand National” days.

The band has also embraced modern production elements throughout this album. Butler’s guitar licks still shine with his intricate finger work pumping out a striking mix of rock, blues and bluegrass. While profound emotion courses through this album, the live context should provide a fresh translation.

Dustin Thomas joins John Butler Trio on this tour run. Thomas evokes a number of musical influences and channels them through his acoustic. Falling somewhere between SOJA and Jack Johnson, Thomas’ beautiful, crowd-pleasing mix of reggae, folk, hip-hop and roots rock should please the Soul Kitchen crowd.

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.
