Hurray For The Riff Raff Biography

Hurray for the Riff Raff released a self-titled CD on Loose Music in Europe on March 21, 2011, after two self-published albums, It Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You (2008) and Young Blood Blues (2010). It was made of Segarra's favorite tracks from both albums. BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music both played songs from the band's debut album. The band was featured in an article in The New York Times in February 2011 based on the HBO TV series Treme, with their song Daniella being included in their list of important New Orleans music. Hurray for the Riff Raff released Look Out Mama in May 2012 on their own Born to Win Records label. It sounds like something The Band might have played on a Victrola when recording Music From Big Pink in Woodstock, according to No Depression. Look Out Mama was released in Europe by Loose Music on August 20, 2012. Andrija Tokic produced the album, which was recorded at The Bomb Shelter Studios in Nashville, Tennessee (Alabama Shakes). End of the Line, a song about a house where Segarra and her friends used to gather in the Holy Cross area of New Orleans, is featured on the album. Thank you for your support! Riff On July 1, 2013, Raff released My Dearest Darkest Neighbor, a covers album through Mod Mobilian Records and This Is American Music. Previously, the record was exclusively available as a Kickstarter reward and in restricted local distribution, with handcrafted covers. Townes Van Zandt, Billie Holiday, Gillian Welch, Leadbelly, John Lennon, Lucinda Williams, Joni Mitchell, Hank Williams, and George Harrison are among the artists featured on the album, which also includes Segarra's cover of Gillian Welch's Ruination Day. Segarra's singing has been described as having "a delicate, expressive voice that she wraps around songs that rely on the rhythms and customs of the American South, and her lyrics frequently take an unusual slant on classic topics," according to the Wall Street Journal. Small Town Heroes, Hurray for the Riff Raff's ATO Records debut, was released in February 2014. Segarra co-wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the album, which also features fiddler Yosi Perlstein, keyboardist Casey McAllister, and two members of The Deslondes: Sam Doores on guitar and Dan Cutler on bass. The band performed to a sold-out crowd at the Roskilde festival in Denmark in early July 2016. With the first track Rican Beach, they revealed a new album, The Navigator, on Pitchfork in December 2016. The album was published on ATO Records on March 10, 2017, and the New York Times praised it as a concept album about her return to her own beginnings.
