Hurray For The Riff Raff joins host Stephen Kallao

Hurray For The Riff Raff band leader Alynda Segarra says of their new record: it’s a memoir. And Life On Earth DOES sound decidedly more personal and intimate than the band’s previous work, like the big, bold statement made with their 2017 album, The Navigator. On the next World Cafe, Segarra joins host Stephen Kallao to talk about this musical transformation, which took root during the pandemic. We’ll hear the whole story, and Hurray For The Riff Raff performs some of their new music, live.
