Limerick, Ireland saw the birth of musically gifted Dolores O'Riodran. Growing up, her childhood was fraught with tragedy after tragedy. But through it all she always seemed to manage it with grace, and music was her savior. Her unique vocals and songwriting abilities set her apart from her school peers. After running away from home at 18 she stumbled upon a local band, The Cranberry Saw Us, struggling to make it and without a singer. After one audition she was in. But tragedy would keep befalling Dolores throughout the rest of her life. Join me today as I talk about the battles Dolores faced, how she fought hard for their popular hit Zombie to be made, and much more.
