On Saturday, The Raconteurs headlined Jack White‘s Third Man Records‘ 10th-anniversary celebration in Nashville, TN, marking the quartet’s first  live performance since 2011. The Raconteurs—comprised of White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler—recently officially confirmed their forthcoming new album, Help Us Stranger, slated for release on Friday, June 21st via Third Man Records.

Following an introduction by White’s mother, The Raconteurs opened up their set with “Consoler Of The Lonely”, the title track off of the band’s 2008 sophomore release. The quartet continued with the live debut of “Bored and Razed”, Help Us Stranger‘s lead track, which was followed up by “Level” and “Old Enough”. The Raconteurs continued to unveil live debuts of their new material with “Sunday Driver”, “Help Me Stranger”, and “Now That You’re Gone”, along with rockin’ renditions of fan favorites “Salute Your Solutions”, “Steady As She Goes”, and a set-closing “Blue Veins”.

The Raconteurs returned to the stage to open up their three-song encore with “Keep On Trash”. A re-worked cover of Donovan‘s “Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)” followed, which will appear on the forthcoming album before the band brought the stellar performance to a close with “Carolina Drama”.

Last night’s Third Man Records celebration also included performances by Lillie Mae, Craig Brown Band, Teddy & The Rough Riders, The Dirtbombs, The Gories, Detroit Cobras, Quintron & Miss Pussycat, Soledad Brothers, and Todd Albright. Special guests included Margo Price, Alison Mosshart, Carla Azar, Joshua Hedley, Dave Buick and more.
