On ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,’ Jack White Performs ‘What’s The Trick’

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on 20th April, Jack White played his song “What’s The Trick”. The song is from the guitarist’s newly released solo album, ‘Fear Of The Dawn,’ which is the first of two LPs expected to be released this year by the White Stripes musician. 

Following a chat with host Stephen Colbert, White and his live band performed an electrifying rendition of “What’s The Trick” on The Late Show.

White discussed his recent on-stage marriage to Olivia Jean with Colbert, and recalled some advice he had received from the late Prince: “Don’t let anyone tell you how to play your guitar, Jack.”

White’s performance of ‘What’s The Trick’ can be seen above, and White’s interview with Colbert can be found below.

This week, White also released the Jason Lester-directed video for ‘What’s The Trick,’ which is solely available on White’s Facebook page. Regina McCrary (of the McCrary Sisters) and singer-songwriters Adia Victoria and Lola Kirke are among the Nashville musicians featured in the video.

The live concert streaming platform Nugs.net is currently making recordings of shows from Jack White’s ongoing world tour available to stream or download.

White’s tour will stop in London for two dates in late June, with Chubby and The Gang and Yard Act providing support.
