The Reaper Returns With JOE MULHERIN From NOTHING, NOWHERE.

Interview by Angela Croudace
Returning to Australia after a three-year absence, nothing, nowhere. is set to reconnect with a fanbase he clearly holds close. Speaking ahead of the tour, the man behind nothing, nowhere, Joe Mulherin reflects on the long gap between visits, admitting it feels like he “just” played here, only to realise how much time has passed. That distance has only heightened his anticipation, especially when it comes to Australian crowds, which he describes as among the most passionate in the world.
There’s a genuine affection in the way he talks about the country, not just the shows, but the experience itself. From ferry rides into Sydney to snorkelling and embracing the unfamiliar, his last trip left a lasting impression. With family ties now rooted here, Australia feels less like a stop on the map and more like a second home.
This upcoming run isn’t just another tour; it’s a celebration. Marking a decade of nothing, nowhere.
The Return of the Reaper tour will blend old favourites with newer material, offering fans a full-circle moment. Joe’s excitement also extends to the lineup, bringing along close friends and collaborators, creating what he describes as a “summer camp” atmosphere on the road.
After an intensely isolating period writing in Vermont, this tour arrives at the perfect time—both a creative release and a reminder of connection.
