- Offbeat Magazine and Liveset have teamed up for a special collaboration to bring you one of New Orleans most loved folk bands, Hurray for the Riff Raff. This free and intimate online performance will be streamed live online from the Art House on the Levee in the lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Lead by Alynda Lee, a Puerto Rican raised in the Bronx, their sound is influenced by the sounds of Classic Country,1960's Rock 'n' Roll, and master songwriters like Townes Van Zandt and Neil Young. Phil Alexander, the Editor-in-Chief of Mojo Magazine, raved that they "have immense potential and seductive power" and named them one of the best bands at SXSW.

Almost a decade later, this is still one of my very favorite concerts on CZcams. Absolutely fantastic. I heard Rhododendron on The Current last week and had to go listen to more... and more... fantastic.
Yeah there playing in Madison WI next weekend for free but they have so many albums now hopefully there just as good as the first two!
Same I’ve been watching since I saw them at a residency where they played for a week in my town! That was 2014ish. I watch this performance multiple times a year since then haha
Yeah man love it think I stumbled across this when there was like a few thousand views
Same, have loved coming back to this video over the years!
I wonder how many times I've watched this over the years.
I'm back after a 5 year break. When its time its time!
Her voice is Addicting !!
This is still one of my favorite sets of all time. I’ve been listening for years!!
Completely agree
Same dude. 10 year anniversary just around the bend
Learned of this band from KPCC radio station, sure like them...
I've booked them to play in Glasgow. Just a few days to go and I can't wait.

The sound guys really did a good job to records and filter all the noise out.
glad to know the resonate hipster is here to chime in
@@skateboards5298 He resonated with me as well!
@Tay - Yes. The audio is great on this video. One of the nice things about the acoustics of the great outdoors, there are no strong reflections from walls and ceilings, and low-frequency resonances are minimized.
8 years later and i'm back here again.
I just love Hurray for the Riff Raff, so happy I found this great band. I could listen to her beautiful voice all day.
I was lucky enough to see Ms Alyndra Lee singing solo in Tucson tonight, and I'm happy to report that she's still a wonder, with a peerless voice that brings to mind Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.
that's awesome I hope to see them some time. Nearest place I could see them is maybe Spokane or the Gorge amphitheater. if they ever play it.
Heard this bands names for years, literally took 1 minute to be a fan
Add me to that!
right!! lol.. same here
Exactly.
Came here & didn't know what to expect, it started good & then the fiddle kicked in!!! Can't beat a good fiddle! I can honestly say I liked EVERY single song, the cover song was amazing! Anyone else think she is extremely cute?? Definitely a band I will be following! Thumbs up!!
This is very seriously one of my favorite things of all time. It turns off my internet ADD and slows things down
I didn't think beautiful voices like that existed anymore! Amazing band
I'm listening to this album this morning. It still comes across as fresh and personal.
I love 'Look Out Mama' - so addictive!
The fiddle player is a perfect fit for the band. He plays tastefully and never hits a bad note. We were lucky to see them in Charlottesville last September. Hope to see again soon.
He ?? That's Alynda's GF.
Nautilus1972 i wouldn't be so quick to make that correction... yosi is openly transgender and i have not read anywhere that states how yosi identifies... i have not had the privilege to meet these fines people, so i don't know myself.... no matter; they jam :-)
Elyse Peters +Nautilus1972 Semantics over pronouns is the most frustrating aspect of the LGBTQ movement.
Raymond Lee I understand it can be difficult for others to understand all the complexities and proper etiquette regarding LGBTQ individuals... However, it is important to do our best to respect and ease the immense struggle that comes from being born into a body that that does feel like your own and a world that (mostly) does not understand you. Sensitivity and an eagerness to be respectful truly goes a long way, even if we don't always says the right thing.
Gender pronouns may seem like semantics to you but try to consider how huge of an issue it may be to a trans person. Would you like it if people referred to you as "her" (assuming you identify as a "him")? Would you not correct them? I would imagine that any discomfort that mistake might cause you would be greatly magnified for a trans individual. If it's such a little deal to you (and a potentially big deal to them) then how easy it would be to ease that struggle/pain, if only just a bit! Seems well worth it to me. Just some food for thought...
Also, Yosi is indeed wonderful! As is the entire band... I'm so in love, can't wait to see them live! :D
+Beverly Jordan Idk, the fiddle is good but it could be a lot flasheir at parts (on solos). I agree it's perfect when it's accompanying the vocals, but when the fiddle is soloing, I want a little more than just the melody...
Accidentally clicked into Awesomeness
You’re telling me. It’s like having your breath taken away. Goddamn.
his melodies very good ! not every day you hear music like this. Greetings from Argentina
Best 36 minutes I've ever spent on youtube.
Absolutely bang on ..
Fantastic set! I'm not normally a country fan, but after seeing them open for Alabama Shakes earlier this week, I have changed my mind. Hurray, indeed.
I will never stop watching this set.
This is my all-time favorite band. Alynda Segarra has the most beautiful, unique voice I have ever heard. It lights inspiration and introspection. When I saw Hurray for the Riff Raff live, tears streamed down my face the whole show. Thank you for putting out these amazing tunes. And of course, it's out of the badass City of New Orleans! Keep rocking!
Her vocal vibrato is amazing!
Agreed.
I am completely mesmerized by this band. Great music!
What a singer and songwriter. Blown away and this was years ago. New "Life on Earth" album is great.
Just ridiculously good guys! I'm glued from beginning to end.
I Love this band !!! This is my fav of them live. Alynda has such soul.
Still my fav iteration of the band...what a gift this session is! (btw, I did get the album on Amazon after hearing this too :) )
This is definitely the best this band ever sounded. It's not that their new stuff is bad, but this hits me so much more.
Yep, i didn't even knew that this band iterated so much but .. feels like the best they ever were.
Why Amazon? Clearly you need to listen more closely to the anti-capitalist, pro-people lyrics of their new music
36 minutes? I spent all day listening to this on repeat.
Wow. Just Wow. What a great sounding band and an excellent video. And this gal behind the guitar is breakin' my heart.
I love this. I'm from East L.A., gang capital of the world, but I'm gonna share your music with my students. They need to hear this.
Arturo Lopez So cool to be sharing musical traditions with students who may not have ever even heard them!
Awesome tune and performance. Almost feels like I'm in New Orleans.
390K views and no comments? Guess it's up to me to say this is pretty darn fabulous.
Saw them in Nashville this week - they opened for Amos Lee - and was really impressed with Alynda and the band. It's sometimes hard to get into an opening act when your unfamiliar with them more than ready for the main event but they kept my attention all the way through the set. Lead singer is very personable.
No one and nothing brings my heart more joy.
my asumption..this womans voice is so soft so cool so heartfelt so heartwarming so so cool!!!
I just this band on Letterman--never watch but fell asleep after Big Brother and heard this band on a fluke...LOVE THEM! TY for posting--I will be buying their albums. They are so refreshing and so GOOD.
She has a great voice
I always come back to this.. oh so dang good!
just plain good music
19:12 - can you imagine this band doing a collab with Pearl Jam on this song.
Brain melting epic.
Loving that Alynda Lee. What a grand voice!
don't. just don't. Keep Eddie Vedder away from her please.
Listening to you guys can always bring me out of my darkest thoughts.
So amazing. So full of good mojo :)
I have listen to this concert 100 times, and i could play it 100 more times. Its really cool
I have been coming back to this video for nearly 10 years now. Crazy how time flies and at the same things seem so long ago. Always a reminder to not take our youth for granted.
Love her sound!!!! Great band!!! GREAT MUSIC!!
They're badass now...and then. I'm glad I caught them early...and glad they've blown up. Can't wait to see them in San Fran.
Alynda Lee Love your voice !
Just found and heard of y'all today! I could listen to y'all all day!
I didn't listen something like that since I heard Ella Fitzgerald by first time.
Fabulous music. I’m a new fan! Great video and sound recording.
Still as sweet as the first time I heard em...
Love her voice so much.
Such a fine band with strong material! Been a great 36 minutes, look forward to many more! Thank you for the post.
Sweet sounding waves. Excellent voice by the main singer. The violin adds a sweet folk sound and the drums and bass give the music it's roots.
I am now a fan.......over.
Beautiful! Anyone that sings with that much soul is okay with me...
"what's wrong with me?" is amazing!
I'm trying to go outside and enjoy it but now I'm in front of the nerdbox and obsessed with this band. Cool stuff.
This is great music while you work! Surprisingly relaxing. Thank you, Hurray for the Riff Raff! Beautiful vocals.
Oh wow .... I love expanding my playlist .. and we'll needless to say this is a perfect fit ^_^

I love these people. I'm from Louisiana and lived in New Orleans for 4 years and I am sure Alynda has melded with the city.
