MUSIC: He may have nothing but he’s going somewhere

SOMEWHERE, in a cluttered basement in rural Vermont, you will find ‘Nothing, Nowhere’ creating in solitude.

In this very basement a socially anxious kid has ironically managed to reach not only the rest of the country, but the globe.

Since creating the project in April of 2015, the project has surpassed a million plays on SoundCloud in just 10 months and has found a home within the new wave of internet music.

Described as midwest emo meets southern trap with heart wrenching guitar riffs, forget a genre, it is what it is – and Nothing, Nowhere wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nothing, Nowhere is the pseudonym of American musician Joe Mulherin.

He was born in Massachusetts and currently lives in Vermont.

While the music composed by ‘Nothing Nowhere’ is entirely written, produced and performed by Mulherin, he maintains a group of musicians which consist of friends that perform with him for live shows under the ‘ Nothing Nowhere’ name.

Before creating music, Mulherin had an interest in filmmaking.

He attended film school at Burlington College in Vermont and while in college co-created a minor hit movie.

The project's first album, ‘the nothing, nowhere lp’, appeared in June 2015, followed by the EP ‘Bummer’ later the same year.

Working on some of the tracks with producers he'd met on SoundCloud, the latter was recorded in his parents' basement in Vermont around the time he committed to pursuing music full-time.

The EP ‘Where Are You?’ followed on Synergy Records in early 2016, and in 2017, the single ‘Clarity in Kerosene’ arrived via Pete Wentz's CD2 label and Equal Vision Records.

And now he has just released the latest single ‘Ruiner’ on Fueled.

 Nothing, Nowhere. plays The Academy Green Room on Friday, October. 19.
