Named a Fall 2020 Best Indie Read by the Globe and Mail
From Eamon McGrath, award-winning musician and author of the widely
acclaimed Berlin-Warszawa Express, comes a smart and gritty novel that
explores the lives of touring musicians
Here Goes Nothing, Eamon McGrath's brave second offering and follow-up
to 2017's widely acclaimed Berlin-Warszawa Express, 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.
Told in two interwoven narratives that blur the lines between past and
present, Here Goes Nothing explores the complex relationships that are
both created and destroyed by the perpetual-motion engine that is the
touring van.
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. Here Goes Nothing is a gutsy story of how life on the road
can bring a band together -- or tear them wildly apart.
