The Raconteurs reunited for a surprise performance at Jack White‘s Nashville show last night (October 10), playing together for the first time in nearly seven years.

White was performing the second of two consecutive nights at The Truth, a new 4,400-capacity venue that opened in Nashville earlier this month, when he welcomed his Raconteurs bandmates on stage for the encore.

The band comprises White, fellow singer and guitarist Brendan Benson, bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler, the latter of whom has also been playing in White’s current solo touring band.

O quarteto abriu seu set de reunião com o single de estreia de 2006 ‘Steady, As She Goes’, antes de tocar ‘Hands’, ‘Level’ e ‘Broken Boy Soldier’. Terminou com ‘Carolina Drama’, do segundo álbum de 2008 ‘Consolers Of The Lonely’.

Elsewhere during Saturday’s show, White performed songs from throughout his catalogue, including The White Stripes‘ ‘Icky Thump’, ‘Black Math’ and ‘Seven Nation Army’, alongside solo tracks ‘Lazaretto’, ‘Freedom At 21’ and ‘That’s How I’m Feeling’.

The Raconteurs last performed together on December 13, 2019, at The Republik in Honolulu, Hawaii, bringing an end to an extensive touring year in support of their third album ‘Help Us Stranger’.

That record, released in June 2019, was their first in 11 years, following 2006’s ‘Broken Boy Soldiers’ and 2008’s ‘Consolers Of The Lonely’.

Sua turnê subsequente os viu tocar em locais e festivais ao redor do mundo, incluindo um show em Cidade do México onde Julian Casablancas, da The Strokes, se juntou a eles para uma versão de ‘The Modern Age’.

NME awarded ‘Help Us Stranger’ four stars, calling it a “smooth and pleasurable drive” and praising the interplay between White and Benson. The review concluded: “It’s a full-bodied album and a journey – a journey we hope it doesn’t take them another decade to make again.”.

White, meanwhile, released his seventh solo album ‘Frozen Charlotte’ in July and has been touring throughout 2026.

Seus shows recentes apresentaram vários convidados especiais, incluindo Nick Valensi, da The Strokes, que o acompanhou no Hollywood Palladium no mês passado.

In a three-and-a-half-star review of ‘Frozen Charlotte’, NME wrote: “It may not rank among his classic work, but it’s good fun, it’s gonna really be something live, and it works to show that White doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel when he can give you one hell of a ride on his own.”.
