Your favourite little known musician? *

It would have to be Paul Williams, but I don't know what size has to do with anything...

 

Ed Kuepper

 

These guys were big in the early '90s in the midwest and released a couple of nice CDs. Lori Allison has an incredible voice, IMHO.

The Millions- "Breathe"

 

John Campbell. He died in 93. I saw him first time at the Horseshoe Tavern once by chance and went to see him every chance I got after that. He was in my opinion one of the most amazing undiscovered blues artists and guitarists I ever saw.

 

Youth Lagoon.

I loved the first album The Year of Hibernation (2011). This song "July" is from that album:

 

From a really solid album:

 

Not "my favourite" but i've been listening to an album by Troy Von Balthazar tonight. He used to be in Chokebore, opened up for Nirvana in 94, has a solo career.
I like Chokebore and his solo stuff even though most of it never really clicked with me.
Turns out I love his last album to date ("Knights of Something", 2016) and I keep getting back to it. I saw him last year (free show!) and he was most excellent.
This album only came out on a small french independent label and it's baffling to me

 

Canadians might view it different, but The Tragically Hip belong here. RIP Gord.

 

Trixie Whitley

 

Shake Russell & Dana Cooper (from Texas)

 

There was a TV show out of Canada called Due South that always had some excellent music that fit the given episodes so well - a variety of music. Due South was a bit of a gem of a show in itself and fits this thread in that it is "little known" and watching it recently I am surprised it holds up so well. Perhaps ahead of its time.

So here are the Canadian band The Crash Test Dummies and their song "Superman's Song"

 

Loreena McKennitt (also Canadian) who is fairly well known worldwide but not perhaps in the United States.

 

David Munyon

 

Two of my favourites: Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Martha & the Muffins.

 

Well, he's a tiny and known musician. Does he count ?

 

Billy Ficca
Kris Dollimore

 

Ted Hawkins. Only around for a few years in the UK after making it late in life but a cherished live memory.

The single "Watch Your Step" has stayed in my mind for decades:

 

The Hard Copies



virtually unknown yet they have a bunch of great songs

 

Agree completely here.
Wife & I absolutely love this show (we're native San Diegans ) and always had great music on it as well!

 

Caravan of Theives
They have tons of great original material. This cover of the Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody is top shelf.

 

Without a doubt, Lauren O'Connell.

Gruppo Sportivo. Gruppo Sportivo- BEEP BEEP LOVE Live! (Official video)

Well known in some music circles, but not well known by the public in general.
