Jack White’s just-released third solo album Boarding House Reach has proven polarizing in its reception (admittedly, it’s a weird one), but fans of the former White Stripes frontman should remain confident that his live show tonight will inject his set—a mixture of songs from all his projects, including the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather—with unmatched kinetic energy at every turn. After all, White’s shred-filled stage show is his specialty, and the same goes for local outfit A Giant Dog, set to tear up as openers on each of his Texas dates.
