/// here’s the deal ///
Hello friends ... it's FINALLY HERE!!!
On August 16th, 2025 … I’ll be bringing my music to Baltimore’s ICONIC listening room An Die Musik !
As you might know, ¡ KRL ! has been a 20 year long odyssey of starts, stops, ups, and downs ... a reflection of the past two decades of my LIFE!
I'm so happy to be able to share this moment of completion with YOU in such a unique setting
Join me and my INCREDIBLE band as we explore the auditory cosmos ...
The good news?
YOU are INVITED to this ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT!
The bad news?
SPACE is LIMITED!
Seriously … tickets have been selling SO FAST that the venue added a SECOND SHOW !
Don't miss it ... this is my first time bringing MY MUSIC to Baltimore and who knows, it might just be another TWENTY YEARS before I make another album.
/// new to my music ? not sure what to expect ??? ///
I totally understand if you’ve just stumbled across me on the internet and aren’t sure what to make of me or my music … here what a few knowledgeable people have been saying …
================================
"Somewhere between Charles Mingus and Johnny Greenwood there is a sound that bassist/composer Nicholas Krolak seeks."
"A young veteran of the Philadelphia music scene. He has spent the last decade working as a side-man, experiencing new styles, and studying with the masters. Now, he has taken all he has learned and is applying it to his own artistic adventures."
"Tracing the lineage of bebop into the contemporary, while constantly balancing the pulse of the city and the mysticism of nature: he has been described as…"
“a different kind of songwriter—perhaps a different kind of jazz musician altogether. He’s like the bass playing, modern embodiment of Walt Whitman. And, just as Whitman used his prose poems, Krolak uses his music to celebrate and also reconcile the competing and contradictory nature of the two worlds he straddles: the natural and the urban."

/// also, if you haven’t been to An Die Musik … ///
Seriously … you HAVE to check it out … even if you don’t see me there … it is honestly one of THE BEST venues on the PLANET !
It has an interesting mix of art space, listening room, and jazz-temple … I can’t really describe it … you just have to EXPERIENCE it !
So, if you are looking for an incredible night of sonic adventure, in a setting you’ll never forget …
I’ll see you on August 16th at the 7PM show, 9PM show, or Livestream !!!
