Biography
The Raconteurs are a Detroit rock band formed in 2005 by Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler. Their debut 'Broken Boy Soldiers' (2006) produced the hit single 'Steady, As She Goes', and 'Consolers of the Lonely' (2008) deepened their blend of garage rock, blues, folk and power pop. After a long break spent on other bands and solo work, the same four members returned with 'Help Us Stranger' (2019) on #Third Man#, a United States number one album. All four principals play on every studio album; touring keyboard players are not band members.
