Irish rock band Screaming Orphans to perform at Lourdes
The Screaming Orphans are four funny, high-spirited, musically-obsessed sisters with the good fortune to have been raised in the magic of Bundoran in County Donegal, Ireland. On Friday, March 19, they will perform for the 4th consecutive year at Lourdes College. Performances by the Screaming Orphans have been a big hit with attendance records each year.
The Screaming Orphans – Angela, Grainne, Joan and Marie – write and perform their own music. Their sound has been compared to the Bangles and the Cranberries. The group takes musical inspiration from the Beatles, R.E.M., Indigo Girls and traditional Irish music. Additionally, the Screaming Orphans use their music to support the work of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), an organization that promotes women’s empowerment and gender equality worldwide.

The Screaming Orphans will perform at 8:30 p.m. in the Ebeid Student Center located in the lower level of Delp Hall. Tickets are $10 for the general public or free with a Lourdes College ID.
