Description:
<p><b>A smart, gritty examination of the lives of touring musicians</b></p>
<p><i>Here Goes Nothing</i>, Eamon McGrath’s brave second offering and follow-up to 2017’s widely acclaimed <i>Berlin-Warszawa Express</i>, once again explores the world of touring musicians — but this time McGrath expands his scope and perspective from the inner dialogue of a traveling songwriter into the wider range of a multi-member touring band.</p>
<p>Told in two interwoven narratives that blur the lines between past and present, <i>Here Goes Nothing</i> explores the complex relationships that are both created and destroyed by the perpetual-motion engine that is the touring van.</p>
<p>From confessional tales of saving friends and oneself from drowning in polluted lakes in Michigan to legendary liver-wrecking nights of excess and debauchery in Lisbon, McGrath comments on the corrupt and selfish music industry and the toll it takes on musicians as they blindly chase success. <i>Here Goes Nothing</i> is a gutsy story of how life on the road can bring a band together — or tear them wildly apart.</p>
