Heron Red is a musical project born from the creative spark between two incredible artists, Molly Buchan and Callum Wall. Both are well – known in the Irish indie scene for their successful solo careers, and after years of playing in each other’s bands, they decided to team up in the Fall of 2024. What started as a way to perform their folk, Irish trad, and singer – songwriter songs quickly gained attention, and before they knew it, they were playing shows every week all across Ireland. As the buzz grew, Molly and Callum knew it was time to take their collaboration seriously, and Heron Red was born.
What makes Heron Red so special is the ever – changing lineup. While they often perform as the original duo, their performances can range from intimate sets with accompaniment from the Tin Whistle, fiddle, and bodhrán to full – band experiences, including the lap steel, drums, and bass, depending on the venue and vibe. Every show feels fresh, and it’s this versatility that makes Heron Red’s sound so captivating. In February of 2025, the band recorded their first four – track EP in JeJune Studios with Daniel de Burca. These four tracks were recorded over a weekend with Cam Teehan on drums, Josh Hachett on guitar, mandolin, and lap steel, and Domhnall Roe on Fiddle.
