"Another night, another Franz Nicolay show, another me wanting to give up because he's too good..." FRANK TURNER
"Wax-mustachioed mysterioso Franz Nicolay exudes a distinctly vaudevillian vibe, but his old-timey attire belies a broad musical competency. The man's a chameleon, equally comfortable prowling the stage with the goth-punk troupe World/Inferno Friendship Society, playing accordion with the Gypsy-folk combo Guignol or hammering away at the keys in the Hold Steady, stage right of Craig Finn...Nicolay's at his best on cocktail-jazz gems such as the klezmer-inflected 'Do We Not Live in Dreams?' or the gentle swing of the closing track, 'I'm Done Singing.' He's not too dim to ditch his gig with Brooklyn's finest bar band. Still, we prefer him in the lounge, hamming it up as the pervy piano man." Time Out Chicago:
