Hurray For The Riff Raff has been one of the most vital voices in American roots music for over a decade, blending folk, punk, Americana, and Latin influences into something that defies easy categorization and rewards repeated listening. On June 17, Alynda Segarra and company bring their sound to Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, and this is the kind of booking that makes you grateful a venue like Bearsville exists.
About Hurray For The Riff Raff
Hurray For The Riff Raff is the project of Alynda Segarra, a Bronx-born artist of Puerto Rican descent who left home as a teenager to ride freight trains and play music across America. That origin story is not just biography; it is embedded in the music, which draws from folk, country, punk, and Latin traditions with a political and personal urgency that sets Segarra apart from nearly every other artist in the Americana space. The band’s recordings have earned widespread critical acclaim for their fearless blending of tradition and innovation, and their live shows are known for their emotional intensity and musical adventurousness.
The Venue
Bearsville Theater in Woodstock is a venue with deep roots in the kind of creative experimentation that Hurray For The Riff Raff embodies. The theater’s intimate setting and excellent sound make it a destination for artists who value connection with their audience over spectacle. Woodstock itself carries a legacy of musical boundary-pushing that makes it a fitting home for a night of music from one of Americana’s most adventurous acts.

Alynda Segarra is the kind of artist who makes you reconsider what folk music can be. The songs are rooted in tradition but look forward, grappling with identity, justice, and belonging in ways that feel urgent and necessary. Catching them at Bearsville, a room that understands artistic courage, is an opportunity that does not come around often. This is one of the most important shows on the Upstate calendar this summer. The Hudson Valley has always been a place where artists who push boundaries find receptive audiences, and Hurray For The Riff Raff embodies that adventurous spirit completely.
