Franz Nicolay

Franz Nicolay has performed at Puppet Playlist.

Franz Nicolay is that mustachioed multi-instrumentalist and man-about-town you've seen with cabaret-punk circus World/Inferno Friendship Society, gypsy-klezmer carnies Guignol, and world's best bar band the Hold Steady. He founded the composer/performer collective Anti-Social Music (www.antisocialmusic.org); and published his first story collection, "Complicated Gardening Techniques," in 2009. His new album, "Luck & Courage," is due October 12 on Team Science Records.
