Leo Moran is best known as lead guitarist and sometimes vocalist in the Irish folk-rock band The Saw Doctors. While studying in Galway he met several prominent figures in the area's music scene, including Padraig Boran and Ollie Jennings, who would become the Saw Doctors' manager. He played in a local reggae band, Too Much For The White Man but eventually formed the Saw Doctors with Davy Carton of Blaze X. In 2013, Leo founded a new country rock band called 'The Cabin Collective'. In late 2013 into early 2014 The Saw Doctors took a sabbatical from touring and recording. During this time Moran toured with Anthony Thistlethwaite under the name Leo & Anto. He currently plays guitar with legendary songwriter, Padraig Stevens.
