The White Stripes was a bluesy garage rock band from Detroit, Michigan (USA), comprising the bass-free duo of Jack White (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Meg White (drums, percussion). The Whites, once married and divorced in March 2000, formed their lo-fi garage band in 1997 and officially ceased to perform in February 2011.
Jack White is an American musician, songwriter, record producer, and label owner, born July 9, 1975 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He earned two Grammys with The White Stripes for Best Alternative Music Album (Elephant) and Best Rock Song (7 Nation Army). He earned a Grammy as a producer in 2004 for Loretta Lynn’s Van Lear Rose, which won Best Country Album. Other projects include The Raconteurs and the deliberately mis-spelt Racontwoers. He founded the label Third Man Records in 2001, along with Third Man Pressing in 2017.
