Franz Nicolay
is best known as the grandly mustachioed dude whose piano, organ, and backing vocals help push the Hold Steady's songs firmly into the realm of the epic, but he also maintains a couple of steady side gigs and has sat in with everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Leftover Crack. Recently he's added to his impressive CV a solo record.
