Orla Gartland’s new album, Everybody Needs A Hero, has been making waves in the music industry with a slew of four and five-star reviews. Despite the critical acclaim, the indie artist is facing financial challenges as she prepares for her first North American tour.
In a recent interview, Gartland revealed the harsh reality of touring for many artists in today’s music industry. The rising costs of touring, from van hire to crew fees, have made it increasingly difficult for musicians to make ends meet on the road. Despite selling out every night of her upcoming tour, Gartland expects to lose around $40,000 due to the high expenses involved.
The Dublin singer, known for her sharp lyrics and sophisticated songwriting, has been building a loyal fan base through innovative initiatives like her “Secret Demo Club” and having her music featured in popular shows like Netflix’s Heartstopper. With her new album delving into the complexities of relationships and identity, Gartland is set to captivate audiences with her raw and honest storytelling.
Critics have already praised Everybody Needs A Hero for its evolution and rebellious sound, cementing Gartland’s position as a standout songwriter in the alt-pop universe. Despite her success, Gartland remains humble and eager to share her music with fans around the world.
As she gears up for her North American tour, Gartland is excited to bring her new music to life on stage, even if it means sacrificing the comforts of home for life on the road. With her infectious energy and undeniable talent, Orla Gartland is poised to make a lasting impact on the music scene, one sold-out show at a time.
