With a new album Consolers of the Lonely, and the single "Salute Your Solution" beginning to climb the charts,  the Jack White - led supergroup has decided to hit the road, with a stop in the band's hometown on June 7. Formed in 2005 by White and local hero Brendan Benson, the band fleshed out its roster with the addition of Greenhornes members Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler.

The band's debut album Broken Boy Soldiers was awarded the title Album of the Year by Britain's Mojo magazine. In 2007, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. The Raconteurs were nominated for two awards at the 49th Annual Grammys: one for Best Rock Album for Broken Boy Soldiers, and another for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Steady as She Goes".
