Koe Wetzel Celebrates February 28 With Raising Cane’s Pop-Up Event
Koe Wetzel at his Raising Cane’s Pop-Up Event in Nashville on Feb. 28.
Koe Wetzel and Raising Cane’s joined forces in Nashville yesterday (Feb. 28) to celebrate Wetzel’s unofficial, official day of the year.
The Texas native joined Raising Cane’s Founder & CEO Todd Graves at an exclusive food truck pop-up event at The Outfield along with some of Wetzel’s friends including Trey Lewis, Bailey Zimmerman, Caleigh Hardy, Dylan Marlowe, and Mandie and Danae. Wetzel even worked the Cane’s Food Truck, and provided a surprise when he changed the lyrics of his song, “February 28, 2016.”
Feb. 28 is a national holiday among Wetzel fans, which recalls a fan-favorite song he was inspired to write after being arrested on Feb. 28, 2016. In the song, Wetzel asks if someone will take him to Taco Bell. But to mark his friendship with Graves and his appearance at the event, Wetzel changed the lyrics and asked for someone to take him to Raising Cane’s instead.
“Koe and I have become good friends over the years, so I was stoked to celebrate Koe Wetzel Day and the start of his ‘Road to Hell Paso Tour’ with him and some of his friends on Tuesday,” Graves says. “His song, ‘February 28, 2016’ is iconic, so to have him sing new lyrics that include Raising Cane’s on the same date was amazing.”
Raising Cane’s recently signed on to sponsor Wetzel’s upcoming tour, which kicks off in Tallahassee, Florida tomorrow, March 2.
“I’m fine trading in tacos for chicken fingers and Cane’s Sauce moving forward on Feb. 28,” Wetzel says. “I had a great time hanging out with friends and learning how to man a food truck with Todd and the Cane’s Crew. I’ve been a fan of Raising Cane’s for a long time, and I appreciate Todd, his friendship and Cane’s sponsorship for my ‘Road to Hell Paso Tour.'”
