Franz nicolay6/17/2023 In this amazing road tale he captures how it feels for a wandering artist, scrounging in the underground punk scenes of Russia and the Balkanssleepless nights and shaky trains, strong beer and unsavory companions. Someone Should Pay for Your Pain by Franz Nicolay hits the backroads with singer-songwriter Rudy Pauver as he navigates a conflicted relationship with a successful protégé and the unexpected arrival of his spirited young niece.

Franz Nicolay has always been the kind of musician who can sound like he’s roaming the world in the course of a single song. Franz Nicolay is a multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Brooklyn.

The new record comes courtesy of Don Giovanni Records and Nicolay has shared a video for the single "New River, Spring For Me."įor several years after my last record, I needed a break, and actively tried to keep from writing songs. 11 new record of interest, New River, the latest solo record from songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Franz Nicolay (also The Hold Steady).
