Mark Mulcahy is an American musician and former front-man for the band Miracle Legion. With his distinctive voice and heartfelt lyrics, he has captivated audiences for decades. Influenced by artists such as Evan Dando, Mark Eitzel, and Robyn Hitchcock, Mulcahy's music combines elements of indie rock and folk to create a unique sound that resonates with listeners.
Having been part of Miracle Legion, Mulcahy has left an indelible mark on the alternative music scene. His solo work showcases his versatility as a songwriter and performer. Drawing inspiration from American Music Club, Robert Forster, Vic Chesnutt, and Paul Westerberg among others, Mulcahy's songs are introspective yet relatable.
In addition to his solo career, Mulcahy has collaborated with various artists including Pernice Brothers, Grant Hart, Scud Mountain Boys, Clem Snide, Richmond Fontaine,and Ron Sexsmith. He has also worked with bands like Golden Smog,Luna,and Smog as well as musicians Tobin Sproutand Teenage Fanclub.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Mark Mulcahy returns with his brand-new LP, The Gus, on the Mezzotint Label. The Gus is Mulcahy’s sixth solo record and follows 2017’s dynamic The Possum in the Driveway and his celebrated 2013 return record, Dear Mark J Mulcahy I Love You. Long heralded by contemporary luminaries like Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and covered by touchstone artists such as The National and R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, Mulcahy refuses to rest on laurels and turn out the same type of album twice. Inspired to “up his lyrical game” while reading a collection of short fiction by George Saunders, The Gus finds the songwriter channeling his eclectic voice and ear for melody into the role of storyteller more than ever before. The result is ten infectious songs that combine Mulcahy’s unique window on the world with stories that absorb listeners more with each spin. In addition to his celebrated solo career, audiences may also know Mulcahy as the frontman of seminal ‘80s rock band Miracle Legion or as “Muggy Polaris,” ringleader of Polaris, the fictional house band of the beloved ‘90s Nickelodeon series The Adventures of Pete and Pete. Both Miracle Legion and Polaris have reunited in recent years to tour and will likely do it again.
