New Orleans' Hurray For The Riff Raff is the band of Alynda Lee Segarra -- a singer-songwriter with a powerful voice that channels the raw bluesy side of country and folk music. Following its fantastic 2012 album Look Out Mama, Hurray For The Riff Raff put out a Kickstarter-funded recording of covers and originals, My Dearest Darkest Neighbor, and toured heavily, including a performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 2013. The band is now poised to release another album in February, called Small Town Heroes.

Hear a stripped-down version of Hurray For The Riff Raff -- featuring Segarra and Yosi Perlstein on fiddle -- as they play "The Body Electric" in the Soundcheck studio.
