‘Cannon’ is a raw blues-punk cut from The White Stripes’ 1999 self-titled debut album, while ‘John The Revelator’ is the traditional gospel-blues song famously recorded by Blind Willie Johnson and ‘Black Math’ is taken from The White Stripes’ 2003 album ‘Elephant’.

The set came as White kicked off a North American tour in support of his newly released seventh solo album ‘Frozen Charlotte’, which arrived on Friday (July 10) via Third Man.

Alongside the songs with Scarlett, the Brooklyn setlist also included new tracks ‘Raising The Grain’, ‘There’s Nobody There’ and ‘Nobody Knows’, as well as The White Stripes classics ‘Fell In Love With A Girl’, ‘Hotel Yorba’, ‘The Hardest Button To Button’, ‘Icky Thump’ and ‘Seven Nation Army’. He also played The Dead Weather’s ‘I Cut Like A Buffalo’ and solo track ‘That Black Bat Licorice’.

Scarlett previously joined White on stage at New York’s Irving Plaza in February 2025, playing bass on ‘Archbishop Harold Holmes’ from his 2024 album ‘No Name’. She also performed ‘The Hardest Button To Button’ with him at Third Man Records’ Blue Room in Nashville in 2023.

She has contributed to her father’s recorded work too, having played bass on ‘Into The Twilight’ from his 2022 album ‘Fear Of The Dawn’ and on two tracks from ‘No Name’.

Speaking to Consequence last year, White described Scarlett as a “great” bassist, while stressing that he wanted her to find her own path.

“She likes doing her own thing, and I like her doing her own thing, so once in a while we might touch base here and there, but, I like her doing her own thing, and I think that’s where she feels comfortable, too,” he said.

Scarlett is the daughter of White and musician and model Karen Elson, who were married from 2005 to 2013. Last October, she walked her first fashion runway in Paris for Ann Demeulemeester, and later shared a TikTok of herself with both parents as they sang Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’.

White’s current tour continues in North America this month, and he will play two nights at London’s Eventim Apollo on August 25 and 26, before shows in Bristol, Newcastle, Belfast and Dublin. Further North American dates follow in September, October and November. Find any remaining tickets here.

The Brooklyn show also came days after White stepped in to offer Twin Temple an opening slot, after the Los Angeles duo were dropped from Charley Crockett’s tour because of their “Satanic imagery”.

In NME’s three-and-a-half star review of ‘Frozen Charlotte’, Andrew Trendell wrote that “it may not rank among his classic work but it’s good fun,” adding: “It’s gonna really be something live, and it works to show that White doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel when he can give you one hell of a ride on his own.”
