The Bronx, New Orleans, Nashville — Hurray for the Riff Raff’s sound comes from each of these places. It is Southern, but of the world. Elements of Regina Spektor. Gypsy sounds and feminist strength blending into a slow fiddle and lazily plucked banjo. A Cajun fais do-do feel breaks out as Hurray for the Riff Raff’s Southern roots begin to show in greater quantity.
Alynda Lee Segara grew up in The Bronx and left home as a teenager to hop trains on her way to busking in New Orleans. Armed with what NPR music calls a “morning-after alto,” the lead singer and songwriter of Hurray for the Riff Raff was drawn to jazz, soul, and folk at an early age, eschewing the stereotypes a Puerto Rican girl from The Bronx may have otherwise followed. Add Segara’s self-identification as queer and you have a recipe for folk music with purpose and panache.
Hurray for the Riff Raff is headed to The Social this coming Monday night. Their presence is a gift to downtown and Shows I Go To wants to bestow said blessing upon you for free. Details below.
