Orla Gartland joins host Raina Douris

Irish musician Orla Gartland is a truly independent, self-funded artist. That means the work she put into her latest album, Everybody Needs A Hero, goes way beyond songwriting. On the World Cafe, Gartland joins us to talk about how she makes it work, how she got her start on YouTube, plus she performs live in the World Cafe studio.

Listen to the session here.
