We’re so happy to share the “All-Stars Cover KD” Kickstarter-exclusive EP, featuring covers of KD songs by:
Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra)
David Bazan (Pedro The Lion)
John K. Samson (The Weakerthans)
Dustin Kensrue (Thrice)
Caroline Glaser (Brother Bird)
Benjamin Walsh (Tigers Jaw)
Your author is unashamed to admit he was moved to tears several times, and forgot he was listening to songs he’d written.
Gratitude in all directions to these artists for donating their time and energy to delivering these beautiful and intimate recordings.
Even though our campaign is technically closed, you can still pledge for this reward (and several others!) via
kickstarter.com/projects/kevindevine2026/making-lp11
One note: Kickstarter has informed us that because our campaign is closed, we can receive new pledges for the reward, but we cannot add it to existing pledges.
That said - if you have already pledged and want to use a different email to pledge again specifically for this reward, you are able to do that.
We hope that makes sense - much more to come.
Thank you as always,
Kevin

❤️🔥 incredible energy in the room last night with @kevinpdevine - the deep level of connection his music facilitates with his fans is a rare and special thing, and felt right at home in this cozy intimate listening room of ours. emotions ran high and people were healed. 🥹 thank you @undertowmusic for coordinating, and to all who came out! 🙏
We’re still buzzing from last night’s @kevinpdevine show at Destroy Audio. It was a fantastic, heartfelt performance, and we’re so grateful to KD for venturing up into the mountains to join us — and to the dozens of fans who came out of the woodwork to snuggle into our studio and sing along.
Thanks to @undertowmusic for giving us the opportunity to host 💗
Thank you for listening to “Hatchery” over on Bandcamp - we’re really proud of it.
As of today, you can now also find it on your streaming platform of choice - it’s out everywhere.
Thank you thank you, and more fun Funambulist programming coming soon right here - stay tuned!

Filled with my usual mixture of awed disbelief and percolating gratitude to announce the start of Year Seven (!!!!!!!) here at our Patreon Social Club.
Patreon.com/kevindevine
It may be April Fools’ Day, but I assure you this is real, and I sort of love that a decision we made in the sharp teeth of early COVID has cemented April 1st as our New Year’s Day.
We are running back the core features of last year’s membership tiers.
Stability felt like the move, especially as we wrap up such a consistently rewarding Year Six (if it ain’t broke!) and simultaneously have the completion & release of a new studio album and the fulfillment of its ongoing attendant Kickstarter campaign in our immediate future.
One fun note for the Just Stay tier Is that we will be doing a new sticker design for anyone who orders a personalized lyric sheet, and we will share that design here once we have it.
(And on the housekeeping business of Year Six lyric sheets, I’ve done every one that’s come in to the sign-up sheet - my goal is to get these out in the mail by mid-April, so, keep your eyes out!)
I’m completely amazed by what we’ve made here - 156 recordings, a livestream every month for six years, and so much more quarterly & situation-specific stuff, an aggregating real-time social & archival experience.
It’s kind of mind blowing & I’m excited to keep building together.
Away we go,
Kevin
As always, brilliant design by Matt Delisle / @eatcoldpizza
What a joy to bring Kenny & He Douls back to life for a sold out show at Mercury Lounge in NY last Saturday.
We’re hanging up the jumpsuit until next year, BUT - if you weren’t able to attend, or missed out that night, we’ve put the limited edition signed show poster designed by the amazing @jimmytried up in our merch store for $20 + shipping.

Thank you all & see you next year!
Kenny / KD
One week from today, the Goddamn Band & I (with support from Casey Jost) become Kenny O’Brien & the O’Douls for one night only at the Mercury Lounge in NY.
This project is fun first, a really enjoyable blend of spirited Kenny originals, a couple KD songs, and psychotically committed executions of cover band staples.
But don’t take my word for it - listen to this, one minute of us at rehearsal in 2020 doing “Ants Marching” by Dave Matthews Band, via a video by Brian Bonz that belongs in the Louvre.
Tickets at kevindevine.net.
