Thank You Franz

By The Hold Steady, 23 January, 2010, 7 Comments

After five great years with The Hold Steady, Franz Nicolay has decided to move on.  Franz is an extraordinary musician that brought a lot to our band and remains a good friend.  We wish Franz the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his contributions and good times along the way.  It was truly a blast.

Sincerely,
THS
