Yes the “Hand In My Pocket” is the Alanis Morissette tune. Scott Murawski sings it, and puts his spin on the song. I first heard it at the Boston show back during Thanksgiving Weekend and it was a pretty fun song choice. Looks like it was debuted that tour for Mike’s Band. Not sure if Murawski covers it in any of his other projects.
^ Thanks Pei I just listened to it on the 11/16/10 show Mike released and it’s pretty good! I would even say better than the original.

So far the show posters have had a ‘Poker Card’ theme: Tues was the ‘Queen’ and last night featured the ‘King.’ I have a feeling for Friday’s show it’ll be the ‘Ace’ and perhaps the ‘Joker’ for Higher Ground. Probably wrong though xD. Sorry I did not take pics.
