Drum roll for the final of 2024: Orla Gartland

Gartland hails from Dublin, Ireland, and has been actively releasing singles and EPs since 2009 when she began performing on YouTube as a teenager. The singer-songwriter/indie-pop rocker grew up on a steady diet of Avril Lavigne and Brandi Carlile; her songwriting has a pop/rock edge to it but leans atmospheric folk and pop/rock in the spirit of Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, and Kate Bush.

Learn more about Orla, and listen to her second full-length album, 'Everybody Needs A Hero': https://xpn.org/2024/12/02/atw-orla-gartland/

Every week in November we're turning the spotlight on a member of the WXPN community!

This week meet Stephanie Deininger, who discovered WXPN about 20 years ago and has been a member for the last 10 years. She listens with her husband Jake and their son Leo, and loves listening to the weekend programming together. Stephanie says “XPN provides us with a constant stream of inspiration and positive vibes,” and that supporting the station means being part of a larger community, especially one dedicated to engaging with culture.

A big Thank You to ALL our Members! ❤️
