Heron were a British folk rock band active in the early 1970s, part of the pastoral folk movement that emerged alongside the British progressive and folk-rock scenes. The band's gentle, acoustic-based sound reflected the rural, escapist tendencies of the era. They released albums on the Dawn label that featured their harmonious, understated approach to folk-influenced rock. Heron were associated with the broader movement of British musicians seeking to incorporate traditional folk elements into contemporary music. Though they never achieved major commercial success, Heron contributed to the rich landscape of early 1970s British folk-rock. Their music appeals to collectors and enthusiasts of the era's pastoral folk sound.
