Raconteurs Reunite After 7 Years

The Raconteurs reunited for their first performance in seven years during Jack White's concert at The Truth in Nashville. The reunion took place on October 10, with the band playing a set of five songs during the encore, including 'Steady, as She Goes,' 'Hands,' 'Level,' 'Broken Boy Soldier,' and 'Carolina Drama'.

The band's last live performance together was in December 2019, and their last proper album, 'Help Us Stranger', was released in the same year. The Raconteurs consist of Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler, with Keeler having been playing in Jack White's touring band.

Jack White hinted at the reunion on Instagram earlier in the day, encouraging fans to buy tickets for the show, stating that there might be a little surprise. This surprise turned out to be the whole band performing together on stage.

## What's Next The reunion marks a significant moment for the band, and fans are eagerly awaiting news of future performances or new music. With Jack White having released his latest record, 'Frozen Charlotte', in July, and the 20th anniversary of the band's first album, 'Broken Boy Soldiers', being marked with a Vault box set, the reunion is a welcome return for the band.

The Raconteurs' music has been missed by fans, and the reunion is a chance for the band to reconnect with their audience. With the band's history of creating energetic and captivating live performances, the reunion is a promising sign of things to come.

## Background The Raconteurs were formed in 2005, and have since released three studio albums, including 'Broken Boy Soldiers', 'Consolers of the Lonely', and 'Help Us Stranger'. The band's music is a unique blend of rock, blues, and folk, and has been praised for its energy and creativity. With the reunion, fans are hoping for a new era of music and performances from the band.
