Jack White Brings Chris Robinson Onstage for Deep‑Cut Free Cover in Chicago

The duet underscores White’s use of intimate, phone‑free shows to promote Frozen Charlotte and to spotlight unexpected classic‑rock choices.

Overview

  • Jack White invited Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson onstage Thursday night at Radius in Chicago to sing Free’s deep cut “I’m a Mover.”
  • White posted an official video of the moment even though the Frozen Charlotte tour stop enforced a no‑phones policy for audience members.
  • The Chicago set mixed several Frozen Charlotte tracks with White Stripes and Raconteurs material, showing White is balancing new‑album promotion with deep cuts from rock history.
  • Robinson joined White while on a day off from The Black Crowes’ tour, and The Black Crowes were scheduled to play the Chicago area the following night.
  • The surprise pairing reinforces White’s focus on curated, intergenerational rock moments and controlled documentation, and it signals fans should expect more rare covers and occasional guest appearances on the small‑venue run.
