The Black Keys performed together last night for the first time in two and a half years. Dan Auerbach was joined by drummer Patrick Carney during the singer / guitarist’s Easy Eye Sound Revue stop at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium.

According to Setlist.fm, this was the first time Carney and Auerbach have performed together in public since Aug. 8, 2015, when the Black Keys ended their Turn Blue tour by headlining the Outside Lands Festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Since then, Auerbach has done the Arcs, solo material, solo tour, built a studio, etc.  Earlier this month, he launched the Easy Eye Sound Revue, which features Auerbach, Finley and another of his signings, Shannon & the Clams. The tour runs through April 5 in Denver and you can see all the dates here

Video has yet to surface, but judging by the picture the label, Easy Eye Sound, tweeted out (see the left), Carney performed during the mini-set by Robert Finley, a blues singer signed to Easy Eye Sound, in the middle of Auerbach’s set. According to Setlist.fm, Finley has been singing four songs — “Medicine Woman,” “Three Jumpers,” “Holy Wine” and a cover of Fleetwood Mac‘s “I Like It This Way” — nightly with Auerbach. HOPEFULLY, H O P E F U L L Y….this means the wheels are moving for some new Black Keys music this year.
