At the forefront of a new generation of young musicians celebrating and reimagining American roots music, ‘Small Town Heroes’ is a young woman leaving her indelible stamp on the American folk tradition. It follows Hurray For The Riff Raff's internationally acclaimed record, ‘Look Out Mama’. Fronted by Alynda Lee Segarra, a 26-year-old of Puerto Rican descent based in New Orleans. Many of the songs on ‘Small Town Heroes’ reflect Segarra's special reverence for the city.
The scope of the album is much grander than just New Orleans, though, as Segarra mines the deep legacies and contemporises the rich variety of musical forms of the American South.
