Franz Nicolay

President and
Composer and
Accordionist

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 has released three acclaimed solo records. He founded Anti-Social Music; and works as a composer, arranger, and producer. Nicolay has performed and recorded with bands from Leftover Crack and Against Me to Bruce Springsteen and the Dresden Dolls. He published his first story collection, "Complicated Gardening Techniques," in 2009. Take that scum.
