Belly Up Aspen
A self-described “new band made up of old friends,” the Raconteurs feature the White Stripes’ Jack White and power pop maestro Brendan Benson on vocals, keyboards, and guitars, and the Greenhornes’ drummer Patrick Keeler and bassist Jack Lawrence as the group’s rhythm section. The idea for the band began when Benson and White collaborated on the song “Steady, As She Goes,” which later became the Raconteurs’ debut single. When the duo drafted Keeler and Lawrence, they became a full-fledged band. After a decade-plus hiatus, the Raconteurs returned in June 2019 with Help Us Stranger, their third album.
Tickets Required.
