Hurray for the Riff Raff Heading Down Under

New Orleans-based Americana sensation Hurray for the Riff Raff, aka Alynda Segarra, is heading to Australia this October for a string of headlining shows and festival appearances.

Since I heard the news, I’ve had Alynda’s fabulous 2024 album The Past is Still Alive on repeat. It’s so good. Recorded just a month after the passing of their father, the songs see Alynda grappling with love, loss, time, and the memories we make. Honestly, make sure you take a listen because you don’t want to know how good it is after the shows are done!
