Hurray for the Riff Raff

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome Hurray for the Riff Raff at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, NY for an intimate conversation about the creative process of their latest album, The Past Is Still Alive, their career, and more, with a performance to follow.
Following the release of The Past Is Still Alive, Hurray for the Riff Raff is being called “one of America’s best songwriters” (Vulture). Earning a nomination for Album of The Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards, and finding fans in everyone from Elton John to poet Eileen Myles, it has been hailed as “the next great American road album” (The Atlantic), through which bandleader Alynda Segarra (they/them) is “etching their own story into the American songbook, and asserting that they belong there” (The New York Times). Pitchfork named it Best New Music, NPR Music’s Ann Powers drew comparisons to Joni Mitchell’s Hejira and Lucinda Williams’ Car Wheels On a Gravel Road, and in a sweeping cover story, Paste declared it “the most important album of the 2020s so far.”
