Many phrases are bestowed upon Andrea Gillis and Marc Pinansky power couple, rock royalty – but despite their loud legacies with Andrea Gillis Band and Family Township, when they perform as DEVOTION they are loved as a nostalgia-tinged duo akin to Kenny & Dolly, Sonny & Cher, and a dash of Stiller & Meara. Drawing from their vast catalog of cherry-picked covers and originals, DEVOTION plays all your musical heart strings. Delivering with sweet harmonies, hilarious banter, and inescapable charm, their intimate sets feel timeless, classic, and never scripted. Fall in love with DEVOTION.
Tanya Donelly is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist based in New England. She came to prominence as a co-founder of the band Throwing Muses with her step-sister Kristin Hersh.

By the late 1990s, she settled into a solo recording career, working largely with musicians connected to the Boston music scene.
Donelly is best known for her Grammy-nominated work in the mid-1990s as lead vocalist and songwriter for Belly, when she scored a national radio and music television hit with her composition “Feed the Tree“. Belly recorded on Sire/Reprise Records and 4AD Records; Donelly’s solo works have been released on Warner Bros. Records and 4AD.
