Grammy nominated producer Nicolay, best known as one half of the independent soul duo The Foreign Exchange, will embark on a two week tour of North America alongside the Raleigh-based exploratory jazz trio The Hot At Nights (led by 8-string guitar virtuoso (and TFE’s guitarist) Chris Boerner with Matt Douglas on sax/woodwinds and Nick Baglio on drums). In November 2011, Nicolay released the “Shibuya Session EP” through +FE Music’s website; this EP was recorded with The Hot At Nights at Sound Pure Studios in Durham NC and features new interpretations and arrangements of eight instrumental compositions from Nicolay's 2009 album "City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya". You can find the EP for free download at: www.theforeignexchagnemusic.com/shibuyasession
