Tours: Franz Nicolay (August)

Franz Nicolay has posted a run of August dates. The inspiration for the tour was a little unusual, but Franz explained:

A college friend who's now a biology Ph.D. student at Rutgers, got in touch because he needed to go on a plant-collecting roadtrip, in search of Japanese Stilt Grass (Microstegium vimineum), and wanted a driving buddy. I needed to go on tour again anyway. Car contents will include guitar, accordion, banjo, plant press, lots of plastic bags and about 20 pounds of silica gel. We can be spotted at high elevations, rivers, wet spots and drainage areas during the day, and local rock establishments after dark.

Nicolay released his debut solo album, Major General, earlier this year in the US via Fistolo Records and the record will see a European/UK release in July on Decor Records with two bonus tracks - "The Black Rose Paladins" and "There Will Be Violins."
