Those Darlins and Hurray for the Riff Raff returning to Savannah

Those Darlins and Hurray for the Riff Raff put on two of the best shows of the 2014 Savannah Stopover, so we’re pretty thrilled that both bands will be back in Savannah before year’s end.

MusicFile Productions (parent company of Savannah Stopover and the upcoming Revival Fest) has booked Those Darlins for Oct. 3 at Dollhouse Productions and Hurray for the Riff Raff for Oct. 28 at The Jinx. Click here for more info on tickets. Opening acts haven’t been announced yet.

Those Darlins simply electrified the latenight Stopover audience at the Knights of Columbus, and there were at least half a dozen Savannahians on hand for the band’s late set recently at Bragg Jam in Macon.

Hurray for the Riff Raff is Alynda Lee Segarra, whose understated stage presence doesn’t obscure her evocative voice and brilliant lyrics. The Moon River beer garden was packed for the early evening Stopover set last March by Segarra and her stellar band. I was also lucky to see HFTRR at Forecastle Festival in Louisville in July — the performance seemed even sharper.
