Jack White brings back the Raconteurs
Following an 11yearhiatus and three wildly selfindulgent solo albums, Jack White revives the Raconteurs — one of the former White Stripes frontman’s many other bands. The group’s third studio recording, “Help Us Stranger,” picks up where its casually rocking predecessors left off, finding White playing along at full tilt with guitarist Brendan Benson, bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler.
On tour, the Raconteurs also revisit fan favorites such as “Steady as She Goes” and “Salute Your Solution.” The band performs at the Fox Theater in Oakland on TuesdayWednesday, July 2324.
