About This Event
Join us for an unforgettable evening with Hurray for the Riff Raff at Lark Hall, located at 351 Hudson Avenue, Albany, NY 12210. This inspiring artist, born in the Bronx with Puerto Rican roots, brings a powerful blend of storytelling, activism, and musical evolution that spans decades of personal and cultural history.
Starting on Monday, September 15, the show kicks off at 8pm EDT, with doors opening at 7pm. For just $36.06, experience a night filled with raw emotion, vibrant melodies, and stories that stretch from the streets of New York to the high deserts of New Mexico and the lively landscapes of New Orleans.
Segarra’s journey is a testament to resilience and rebellion—raised amidst the struggles of a blue-collar family, radicalized early through anti-war activism, and shaped by the punk and queer scenes of New York. Their adventures took them across the country, from communal squats to train-hopping across California, ultimately finding a home in New Orleans where music became a vital form of expression and connection.
From humble house shows to major label stages, Hurray for the Riff Raff has become a key voice in the modern folk movement. Yet, Segarra’s artistic quest continues, culminating in their thought-provoking 2022 electronic album, Life on Earth. Their work explores themes of wanderlust, community, inequality, and the enduring power of stories that keep the past alive—highlighting the resilience of outsiders and the beauty of shared experiences.
Don’t miss this chance to witness a performance that not only celebrates musical mastery but also amplifies voices from the fringes of society, reminding us that the past is still alive and that our stories are intertwined in the rich tapestry of American life.
