Franz Nicolay
Franz Nicolay is that mustachioed man-about-town you may have seen with such groups as The Hold Steady, World/Inferno Friendship Society, and Guignol. He is the founder of chamber music collective Anti-Social Music and author of the story collection "Complicated Gardening Techniques."
This event will double as a book release party for "Complicated Gardening Techniques."

Tim Fite
"With Tim Fite, you never know what you're going to get. And that's sort of the point. Fair Ain't Fair offers more humanistic, good-humored songs than previous recordings, and expansive numbers such as "More Clothes" and opener "Roots of a Tree" reveal a man who is letting his talents breathe." (86 out of 100)
-FILTER MAGAZINE
"On Fair Ain't Fair, Tim Fite drops all devices but his yokel drawl, the result captures him turning into an old-fashioned troubadour, one fueled by big issues (the apocalypse, greed, and forgiveness), and a country/hip-hop hybrid that's never sounded catchier."
-ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"A lo-fi lone wolf from Brooklyn, Tim Fite is somewhere between folk and hip-hop, and with his latest album — a harsh indictment of consumerism and the American dream of selling out — he has made himself into a cultural gadfly."

-THE NEW YORK TIMES
Zeus was born from the musical friendship of Mike O'Brien and Carlin Nicholson. The two Toronto-based musicians have been living on the road for the past few years as the backing band for singer/songwriter and Broken Social Scene member Jason Collett. With a lineup rounded out by longtime friends and musical compatriots Rob Drake and Neil Quin, Zeus draws upon classic influences to craft timeless songs, complete with fuzzed out guitars and shimmering three-part harmonies; classic rock n'roll with a touch of twang.
