Tom Waits, he of the gravel voice and source material for an upcoming Scarlett Johansson cover album, is preparing for a tour this summer, his camp confirmed this week.

But don’t rush out to your local ticket office just yet. Waits and his management team are still piecing the tour schedule together, so no dates or cities have been announced. Organizers could only confirm that the tour would hit both the U.S. and Europe.

Waits’ fans certainly have reason to be excited, as his tours have been few and far between lately. His last outing was an eight-date U.S. tour two years ago in support of his three-disc album Orphans.

While you’re impatiently waiting for the specifics, check out Waits rocking the megaphone in a video for “Chocolate Jesus.”
