Artist: Jack White

Is this long overdue or what? Jack White is finally releasing a solo album of his own. Despite amazing success with The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, we have never heard a solo album by the prolific Jack White. He set up Third Man Records and helped re-launch careers such as Wanda [...]

Generically, Jack White exists in a universe with a population of one. Sure, he's a throwback, channeling Robert Plant and a whole generation of axe-slashers, but in today's cultural landscape, what really sets White apart from the rest is his bombast. More than just a blues influenced garage rocker, Jack White is a rock persona in the retro sense-almost so ungrounded in this world that he feels like a fictitious character.

In the pages that follow, we run through the biggest highlights and surprises appearing on this year's bill, in addition to the most glaring omissions. We also highlight five names worth knowing as you prepare for Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge. Highlights Beck Stalk enough festival forums and you'll see Beck's name pop up every now and then. Shortly after these wishlist proposals there's typically a textual scoff and/or write off [...]

Shortly after Sasquatch! organizers announced the 2012 lineup , which has Jack White at the top of the bill, Jack's publicist put out a press release that mentions the new solo artist will also headline the 2012 Hangout Music Fest ahead of the official announcement...oops. Rather than pretend the news hadn't leaked, the festival's Twitter feed came alive with word that White will indeed headline Hangout and that the rest of the initial lineup will be announced on Tuesday. Here's six other stories of note as we [...]

What joy we festival lovers received today!

The Pacific Northwest Festival we've all been waiting for has just announced a killer lineup! Sasquatch takes place at the Gorge on May 25th - 28th.

Mr. White Stripes Jack White finally goes on his own with debut track from "solo" album Blunderbuss , available in April. "Love Interuption" offers the mellow side of "blues/garage-rock gate-keeper". Now he feels the time is right "I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."

Sasquatch! , held every year in the Pacific Northwest, isn't regarded as one of the bigger music festivals in the United States, but is usually regarded as one of the best. Last year, festival organizers enlisted the talents of the Foo Fighters , Wilco , Death Cab for Cutie , Modest Mouse , The Flaming Lips , and lot more over the course of four (yes, four) days. While that may be fairly impressive for what isn't regarded as one of the year's bigger events, this year's does boast a fairly heavy - [...]
