Year of the Locust in Orlando

Year of the Locust Open Stage for Iconic Rock Band, Tesla

House of Blues, Orlando, Florida – Feb 22, 2019

by Barry Nadler

Orlando got a visit from the New York-based band, Year of the Locust, on their last two nights of a tour supporting late 80’s and early 90’s iconic rock band, Tesla, who was out supporting their new album, Shock.

Year of the Locust (YOTL) released their first EP, Home, in 2014. They are currently supporting their newest EP, simply titled Year of the Locust.

Their seven-song set list focused mostly on their most current music. However, they did fit it one song from their debut EP, Movin On.

Nestled right in the middle of their set was their current single, Stay Alive. This song is unique because it features guest appearances from Tesla drummer Troy Luccketta, Ex-Florida Georgia Line guitarist Brian Bonds, and was produced by Brett Hestla of Dark new Day.

YOTL is: Scotty Mac (Lead Vox), Fred Sorrow (Bass), Chevy Hyde (Lead Guitar), The Outlaw (Rhythm Guitar) and Dusty Winterrowd (Drums).

Their setlist for their first of two nights in Orlando:

1. Sunrise – 2018
2. Broken Now
3. Sorry – 2019
4. Movin On – 2016
5. Stay Alive – 2019
6. Whispers in the Dark – 2019
7. Line Em Up – 2019

Year of the Locust Live in St. Louis, several nights prior.
