It was a night that will be etched in the memories of Jack White's devoted fans for years to come – a night when family ties were stronger than ever, and music truly brought people together. The acclaimed musician was joined on stage by his 19-year-old daughter Scarlett White, who swapped her bass-playing duties with her father's rhythm section, unleashing a whirlwind of energy that electrified the Brooklyn crowd at Paramount on Saturday, July 11th, 2026.
Scarlett, whose musical lineage is already a guarantee of greatness – she's the offspring of Jack White and supermodel Karen Elson – proved herself to be more than just a talented young musician. She's a force to be reckoned with, delivering scorching bass lines that perfectly complemented her father's distinctive guitar work on three songs: 'Cannon', a track from The White Stripes' 1999 self-titled debut; the traditional gospel-blues number 'John The Revelator'; and 'Black Math' from their acclaimed album 'Elephant'. This isn't Scarlett's first rodeo, having previously shared the stage with her father in New York (February 2025) and at Third Man Records' Blue Room in Nashville (2023). Her musical contributions don't stop there – she's already lent her talents to Jack's recorded work on his 2022 album 'Fear Of The Dawn' and 2024 release, 'No Name'.
The Brooklyn show marked the opening salvo of White's North American tour, which is in support of his newly released seventh solo album, 'Frozen Charlotte', out via Third Man Records. Critics are already hailing it as a triumph – NME has described it as "good fun", predicting its live potential to be nothing short of electric. The setlist that night offered a tantalising mix of new material, including 'Raising The Grain' and 'Nobody Knows', alongside beloved White Stripes classics like 'Seven Nation Army' and 'Fell In Love With A Girl', as well as tracks from The Dead Weather and his solo catalogue.
For UK fans, the excitement is building – Jack's set to bring his high-octane show to London's Eventim Apollo on August 25th-26th, followed by dates in Bristol, Newcastle, Belfast, and Dublin. These shows form part of a wider tour that will continue across North America through September, October, and November. It's an opportunity not to be missed – and who knows? Maybe we'll see Scarlett join her father on stage again.
White has long spoken about his daughter's musical abilities, describing her as a "great" bassist while also emphasising the importance of forging her own path. This familial collaboration, though, is a testament to the power of music to bring people together – and the potential for new talent to emerge from one of rock's most iconic families.
