Hello,
Jack Johnson. The album is called Brushfire Fairytales and I have had it in my rotation for over a year, that is a personal record for me. An exceptional album.
String Cheese Incident. An amazing jam band that has a number of live and new material albums. Highly recommended.
Ryan Adams. He was with the band Whiskeytown and released two solo albums, Heartbreaker and Gold, in the past two years. Exceptional Alt Country Rock albums. He is gifted in that he writes great tunes and he has a great voice.
Brad. Side project by Pearl Jam member Stone Gossard. New album, it is in the car and I cannot name it off the top of my head, in good. Some of the tunes are excellent. Worth listening to.
Sunny Day Real Estate. This was, in my opinion, the best band that came of Seattle during the heyday. The album is called Diary and it is really great grundge. I believe that a few of the members of this band wound up with Dave Grohl and formed the Foo Fighters. I am not sure if they are still with him.
Flaming Lips. Very interesting albums from this band. The newest, Yoshimi, and the previous album, Soft Bulletin, are great. Very entertaining albums. Not mainstream, but well worth listening to.
Wilco. Great band. Not all that unknown, but I would feel guilty if I did not mention their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Great album that gets better everytime I listen to it.
Ben Harper. Also not all that unknown. If you have not heard his music immediately go to your local record store and pick up Fight For Your Mind, The Will To Live, and Burn to Shine. Great albums, great musician.
Many others, some have already been listed, but a good start. I look forward to reading everyones suggestions.
