Singer/songwriter Orla Gartland from Dublin has announced her 4 track Lonely People E.P. and 11 date headline tour across the U.K. and Ireland in February 2015 which includes a night at Liverpool’s East Village Arts Club on February 18th.
Lonely People follows on from her 2013 successful debut E.P. Roots which boasts an impressive set of stats for a debut release; charting at No.1 on the Irish iTunes chart, and No.15 in the main iTunes charts overall.
Orla’s fusion of dreamy and lo-fi tinged indie-pop, blended with her trademark summery vocals and heartfelt song-writing lends itself to the kind of crossover pop that appeals to a mass audience. Her online stats speak for themselves, with Youtube numbers hitting close to 11 million, positioning her as a refreshingly credible One to Watch for 2015.
Her emotional delivery and genuine passion for song-writing have been embraced with Orla’s new 4 track E.P. which includes title track Lonely People (produced by Andrew Maury; RAC, Panama Wedding), the end result being a raw and honest body of work, which shows wisdom beyond her years, full of energy and purpose.
With an impressive live plot to her name which includes support slots alongside Bastille, John Newman, Kodaline, Hudson Taylor and Gabrielle Aplin, Orla completed her first headline tour in the summer of 2013, selling out 5 dates across the U.K. Early 2014 saw a 10 date tour for Roots, and a headline show in L.A. which sold out in 15 minutes of tickets going on sale.
The remainder of 2014 sees Orla complete her first U.S. tour and SXSW debut, and an upcoming 10 date U.K./Ireland tour culminating in London’s Islington Academy.
Tickets are on general-sale from 9am November 21st from www.orlagartland.com/tickets.
