Franz Nicolay is an American multi-instrumentalist and composer currently based in Brooklyn, New York. He is perhaps best known for playing the accordion and the piano in The World/Inferno Friendship Society and playing keyboards in The Hold Steady from 2005 to 2010. He is also notable for founding Anti-Social Music, a composer/performer collective based in New York City, and for performing in the gypsy-klezmer troupe Guignol.

Here are some reviews of Franz's album FOR LUCK AND COURAGE.

4/5 "Sprawling but fleet-footed...its execution is beguiling." - Q Magazine.

5/5 Album of the Month: "'Luck and Courage' is a masterclass in instrumentation, arrangements and poetic musings...[It] is a work of grand proportions that deserves to be heard. This is Nicolay's Sgt. Pepper." themusiccritic.co.uk.

"Nicolay has truly found his voice...his knack for inhabiting characters and spinning tiny, fascinating stories shin[es] through the creative arrangements and clear productions." - Exclaim.

"'Luck & Courage' builds on his splendid debut solo effort, 2009's 'Major General'. Here he adopts a tender, expansive, folkish style that dips into cabaret, bluegrass, and good ol' indie rock as he loosely documents the far-flung romance of fictional paramours Felix and Adelita. Like Nicolay himself, the songs don't fasten themselves to genre conventions." - Boston Phoenix.
