 Following the cancellation of "Pete & Pete", Mulcahy found himself playing his own shows in New York City and building up his career from a shadowy past.
 Mulcahy has opened for many notable artists including Oasis and Jeff Buckley and received homage from Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, who dedicated a song to Mulcahy at a Boston show.
