Franz Nicolay from the Hold Steady is here to discuss his new book, Band People: Life and Work in Popular Music, once living in Toronto and how couples in the creative arts and humanities support each other, balancing passion and pragmatism in the music business, how musicians tend to communicate and miscommunicate, getting credit and valuing cultural labour, whether musicians can truly jam remotely, what’s next for his writing and music work, other future plans, and much more.
