In his post, Kevin says he’s gearing up for his new “Double Hands In The Pocket” tour … which he says is “sheepishly coming to a city near you.”
Kevin’s got upcoming shows in Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Florida and Las Vegas … and it will be interesting to see if his meme gives him a ticket sales bump.
