The Raconteurs reunited for the first time on stage in nearly seven years during Jack White’s concert at The Truth in Nashville on Saturday night. The rock band featuring White, Brenden Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler appeared during the encore of White’s show, where they ran through a “Steady, as She Goes,” “Hands,” “Level,” “Broken Boy Soldier,” and “Carolina Drama.”
White’s Instagram account had teased the reunion earlier in the day, writing on social media: “Inside info for any Raconteurs fans in the Nashville area…you might want to buy a ticket for Jack White’s show at The Truth tonight…there just might be a little surprise.”
Background
The Raconteurs last played together in October 2019 in support of their third album, Help Us Stranger. Recently, White’s Third Man Records announced a Vault box set to mark the 20th anniversary of the band’s first album, Broken Boy Soldiers.
The surprise reunion of The Raconteurs has generated excitement among fans, who have been waiting for the band to perform together again. The Vault box set announcement has also sparked interest, as it will likely include rare and unreleased material from the band’s early days. With the reunion and the upcoming Vault box set, The Raconteurs are once again in the spotlight, and fans can expect more news and updates from the band in the coming months.
