Shortly before lending his support at a rally for Bernie Sanders in Detroit, Michigan, Jack White performed a set of songs for the crowd. According to Pitchfork, the singer-songwriter’s set featured a cover of Bob Dylan’s Infidels track “License to Kill,” and a few White Stripes songs including “Seven Nation Army,” “We’re Going to be Friends,” and “Icky Thump.” Check out clips of the performance below. The concert took place in the gymnasium of Detroit’s Cass Technical High School, where White attended. According to a press release, the event was organized with the hopes of fighting for “economic, environmental and racial justice.”
White recently announced a collaboration with Tenacious D in honor of Record Store Day November 29. The track is called “Don’t Blow It,” with it being produced by White. Tenacious member Jack Black announced the news earlier this summer, stating that both were in the recording studio at Third Man Records studio in Nashville, Tennessee. It will be released on 7′ vinyl and will also feature a B-Side track entitled “Kage.”
Earlier this year, White released a remix redux of Whatcha Doing’ from White’s pre-White Stripes era with his band The Go in celebration of its 20th anniversary. White is also a member of The Raconteurs, who released their third LP earlier this year, called Help Us Stranger.

Nothing better to do
Why don’t you kick yourself out
You’re an immigrant too” pic.twitter.com/hE5ZzVOjiK— Cara Korte (@CaraKorte) October 27, 2019
