Boston’s melodic hardcore group,
Vanna, has announced they will be embarking on a nationwide tour this fall with Beartooth. Other supporting bands include Sirens & Sailors and Skylar. The fall tour comes shortly after the release of their latest full length VOID and touring this summer on the 2014 Vans Warped Tour. A full list of tour dates can be seen below.
VOID, Vanna’s debut album for Pure Noise Records, and their 5th full length, was recorded at the Machine Shop in New Jersey with Will Putney (Stay From The Path, Northlane, Miss May I) and is now available.
Since their formation nearly ten years ago, Vanna has seen much success. VOID is set to be their biggest release yet following so many recording accomplishments including their seven inch EP, Preying/Purging, which featured two new songs and their latest full length album, The Few and the Far Between. The Few and the Far Between comes after the critically acclaimed release of And They Came Baring Bones, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard New Artist Chart and #22 on the Billboard Hard Music Chart.
Vanna includes Davey Muise (vocals), Joel Pastuszak (lead guitar, clean vocals), Nick Lambert (guitar), Shawn Marquis (bass) and Eric "Rabbit" Gross (drums).

8. Sir Elton John
He may not have been in Worcester, but it was certainly worth the trek to Boston to see music royalty. Sir Elton John has been performing live for decades, and never lost a step along the way. Just ask GoLocal music critic Ken Abrams who reviewed Elton's Providence appearance:
Elton John made a triumphant return to Providence Saturday night, making the Dunkin Donuts Center the second stop on his Diving Board Tour. Expectations were high for the near capacity crowd and Sir Elton did not disappoint. He covered a number of hits in his 28 song set, including a full album side from “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” Read More

She grew up with Sally Field, lived with and sang for Neil Young, and married Police guitarist Andy Summers.

6. Live Music Venues
Worcester's music scene was alive and well in 2013, and as much credit goes towards the bands and performers; its the infrastructure -- the venues -- that give these talented artists the medium to share their work with the world.
In 2013, GoLocal compiled some of the best live music venues in Worcester, check them out here, and here.

2. Pearl Jam
On the same day that they released their tenth studio album, Lightning Bolt, grunge-rock legends Pearl Jam took the stage at Worcester's DCU Center. GoLocal music critic Rob Duguay was fortunate enough to be front and center for the October show:
Last night at the DCU Center in Worcester, Seattle alternative rock legends Pearl Jam kicked off their two-night stay with authority. Earlier in the day, their tenth studio album Lightning Bolt was officially released to the masses to much acclaim. What better way to celebrate a new record from the all-time greats than in front of a sold out arena? With one of the best bands of the past 25 years making everyone go crazy for three hours with no openers, Worcester was about to get rocked into another stratosphere. Read More
