Winter Jam 2018 at USA

Posted by Stephen Centanni | Jan 24, 2018 | Music Briefs | 0 |

Band: Winter Jam 2018
Date: Thursday, Feb. 1, with doors at 6 p.m.
Venue: USA Mitchell Center, 5950 Old Shell Road, www.southalabama.edu
Tickets: $15 donation at the door

For more than 20 years, the annual Winter Jam tour has traversed the nation with a lineup of superstars from the Contemporary Christian music world.

The tour’s website says iconic Christian pop group NewSong was founded with hopes of attracting crowds with its combination of modern music and spiritual inspiration. This year, NewSong will share the lineup with musical acts Addison Agen, Jordan Feliz, KB, Building 429 and Kari Jobe. Comedian John Crist and Evangelist Nick Hall will also be appearing.

Skillet will headline Winter Jam 2018. This coed group have used a mix of mainstream metal and Christian missive to establish a dedicated following, especially in the Azalea City.

Skillet has also crossed into the secular mainstream through such hit singles as “Monster” and “Sick of It.” “Unleashed” is the band’s latest album. Its fresh, edgy sound is a wave of otherworldly, harmonic hooks laced with heavy work on the guitar and synth.

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.
