The Raconteurs is an American rock band formed in the mid-2000s around Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler. Their music blends garage rock, blues rock, alternative rock and influences from 1960s and 1970s rock, with a strong focus on guitars, vocal harmonies and organic arrangements. With albums such as Broken Boy Soldiers, Consolers of the Lonely and Help Us Stranger, The Raconteurs became a major project in modern American rock.
