    Hi Hedy,
    Here are a couple that I’m into that you may not have heard of:

    Tom Brosseau - Here Comes the Water Now

    Tall Tales - (two songs, Born Down By The Side is first. Accordion part is the intro to a show)

    Iron and Wine and Fionn Regan are worth having a look at as well. James Taylor has some really nice stuff.

    maybe some Aimee Mann (but I’ll warn you, it’s on the contemporary side so you may think I’m a total wuss after seeing it). She kind of teeters back and forth between a folkier sound and a contemporary rock sound. This record is more kind of spacey adult contemporary, but it’s compatible.

    I found an absolutely awesome nearly unknown Folk Rock Band awhile back called The Ghost. They are Imo, amazing. I made a couple of Vids for their songs, here they are.
