hey, nothing @ The Deaf Institute

hey, nothing—composed of best friends Tyler Mabry and Harlow Phillips—has built a devoted following

with their richly literary emo-folk, marked by indelible vocal interplay and unflinching explorations of

addiction, toxicity, trauma, and family struggles. Inspired by Stephen Chbosky’s coming-of-age classic The

Perks of Being a Wallflower, the duo has sold out runs of headlining shows and earned praise from

outlets including NPR Music, Alternative Press, Pigeons & Planes, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and even

their hometown Atlanta newspaper.

Barely 21 years old, hey, nothing has spent much of 2025 deepening their connection with a devoted fan

base through passionate, story-driven live shows—equal parts poignant and playfully humorous—at

both headline performances and major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees, Austin City

Limits, and All Things Go, solidifying their unshakable identity and a growing community of die-hard

fans. They performed at Live at Leeds in the City (Leeds, UK), Pitchfork London, and Pitchfork Paris, and

wrapped a support tour with Cage the Elephant.
