Lay Low Moon is an Indie Folk collective built around the songs of Seán McKenna and is comprised of Seán and various friends from around the Greater Boston area. The name Lay Low Moon was inspired by some lyrics from the Beck song, “Guess I’m Doing Fine” — off of the Sea Change album, a collection that inspired McKenna’s early songwriting. Their sound and songwriting have been compared to Mojave 3, Neil Young, The Essex Green, and Jeffrey Gaines. In various forms, Lay Low Moon has performed at many of the well-established venues around the Greater Boston area, including Club Passim, The Middle East, and many others.

In 2015, a version of their song, “Thru & Thru“ was featured on a compilation titled One Hundred Thousand Voices, with proceeds benefiting a great charity organization called 'Active Minds,' whose mission is to provide mental health outreach on college campuses around the country.

Their first full-length release, On This Day Last Year, produced by Daniel Radin of The Novel Ideas, was released in August of 2018, which offered a departure from the two EPs (respectively titled One Summer and One Winter) released four years prior.
