Hurray for the Riff Raff

Last night I went to see Hurray for the Riff Raff at the Highline Ballroom. The lead singer/songwriter is SO good. Sultry voice, teasing delivery, and fun, hopping alt-country music. They are based in New Orleans, and you can really hear that influence. I thought they were great and I'm definitely going to download their albums.

Hurray for the Riff Raff was opening for a singer called Yuna. Yuna had a lovely voice and she did interesting things with it, but the smooth listening pop style of the music didn't do anything for me.
