The Blue Herons

The Blue Herons are Andy Jossi (The Churchhill Garden, The Serpent Garden) and Gretchen DeVault (The Icicles, The Francine Odysseys, Voluptuous Panic), both forces of nature in music creation. Serendipity brought the duo together in late 2020 and in a short two months the pair will have released two singles, with an arsenal of jangle pop songs to be released in 2021. Stay tuned. The Blue Herons started as a side project for Jossi. After establishing a following for his shoegaze band The Churchhill Garden, he needed a separate space for his indie pop songs. The Blue Herons featured frequent guest vocalists and musicians such as Krissy Vanderwoude (The Churchhill Garden, Whimsical), Marty Willson Piper (The Church, All About Eve), Hideka, and Thierry Haliniak. While releasing music under The Blue Herons moniker, still searching for the perfect vocal complement to his instrumentals, Jossi found what he was looking for in Gretchen DeVault.

DeVault, a veteran of the indie pop scene, led The Icicles through a series of well-received albums and licensing deals with Target and Motorola in the early 2000s. In 2013, she elevated her recording skills and vocals to new heights as half of the transoceanic shoegazer duo Voluptuous Panic. After relocating to LA in 2016, she got reacquainted with her indie pop roots and formed The Francine Odysseys. The jangle pop force known as The Blue Herons is about to take flight – soaring to new musical heights.
