Hurray for the Riff Raff live in New York

Experience Hurray for the Riff Raff live on August 5th

Hurray for the Riff Raff is scheduled to perform at Lincoln Center in New York City on August 5, 2026. The band, fronted by Alynda Lee Segarra, blends elements of American roots music – including folk, country, and blues – with influences from Latin rhythms and punk energy. Their sound is often characterized by narrative songwriting focusing on themes of working-class life, displacement, and resilience. Initially a one-person band performing as a busker in New Orleans, Hurray for the Riff Raff evolved into a full ensemble releasing critically acclaimed albums like “Small Town Heroes” and “The Navigator.”
