On Wed. night, Dec. 9, Jalopy begins a four-night festival it’s calling Roots N Ruckus – The Stay The Folk Home Edition. And Alynda Lee Segarra will be one of the headliners on Saturday, Dec. 12. Jalopy’s four night Roots N Ruckus Festival streams online via Facebook Live and Youtube. Wed. night’s guests include Neel Murgai of Brooklyn Raga Massive; Segarra will headline the Saturday night finale.
