New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hurray for the
Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra) begins a headline tour of the United States and Canada featuring songs from their Nonesuch debut album, LIFE ON EARTH, this weekend.

Riff Raff heads to
Europe and the UK to tour this summer.
LIFE ON EARTH is a departure for the Bronx-born, New Orleans-based singer/songwriter. Its eleven new "nature punk" tracks on the theme of survival are music for a world in flux - songs about thriving, not just surviving, while disaster is happening. The album was recorded during the pandemic with producer Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver,
Kevin Morby). While making it, Segarra drew inspiration from the Clash, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bad Bunny, and Emergent Strategy author adrienne maree brown. "A major step forward for one of today's most vital artists," exclaims Uncut. "The first great album of 2022." Nonesuch Store LP and CD orders include a limited-edition print autographed by Segarra, while they last.
