Don't Miss Out
From catalog-spanning deep cuts to $20 tickets for students, he’s playing some of the most thrilling shows of his career
Last week, in the middle of Jack White’s sold-out show at the Brooklyn Paramount, a five-feet-four-inch bass player got onstage. It was his 20-year-old daughter, Scarlett White, grooving along to “Cannon,” from the White Stripes’ self-titled 1999 debut. She stayed with her dad for two more songs — the White Stripes’ cover of Blind Willie Johnson’s “John the Revelator” and “Black Math,” from the garage rock duo’s 2003 classic Elephant — with White posting a video afterwards like a proud father.
Scarlett’s surprise appearance is just one of the many highlights of White’s current tour, which kicked off in North America on July 10 and extends through the fall. It’s one of the best rock shows of the year, and he’s proving that at 51, he’s just getting started. Here are seven reasons why you should see him right now.
