About a week ago I won tickets to see the good Mr. Nicolay at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Previously the keyboardist for The Hold Steady, he now lives in Brooklyn and finds himself more able to indulge his artistic whims.
Which is to say it was a most interesting show, the audience almost didn't know what to make of his half-comedian, half-entertainer; half-tragic, half indulgent attitude to the whole thing and the...we'll call it dignified pace to his music.
One of these days I will probably actually pay to see him.
And I will hopefully be in a position to sing along.
