Also saw a cool band open for Meat Loaf once, The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies. awesome live band and never heard from them again.

Solo artist out of Bangor Maine named Howie Day. When he is actually performing solo (he does some stuff with a band), he uses looping pedals to create the feeling of a backing band. he also loops his voice to create the feeling on multiple singers. It's absolutely fantastic.

Him and another solo artist named Matt Nathanson. Great stuff!

im guessing alot of people know who Howie Day is. And if they dont, they should.

I have to add my two cents to this thread..

Carbon Leaf- best folk/celtic/jam band out of my home state of Virginia! Their live show is something not to be missed, Barry is a mad man on the tin whistle and a great singer and Carter is a virtuoso on mandolin. If some kind East Coast soul could hook me up with a live show, I'd be eternally grateful.

Be Good Tanyas- this all woman folk trio from Vancouver is unfortunately no longer together, but I highly recommend their album Chinatown, among others. Also check out their successor, Po' Girl.

On another note, where can I find some Cuff the Duke songs? I searched Kazaa but no luck I found some Arcade Fire stuff there, sounds excellent.

Wil! and As the Poets Affirm. They just had their CD release party for their second CD here in Ottawa, and the place was packed.

I was able to find some Cuff songs on Kazaa Lite... try searching again, maybe the songs I found will show up in your search, then you can download those... good luck. :thumb:

I have found that he has a nice following in the States but Canada has no clue who he is. He plays once every two years in Canada - only in Toronto and he gets 200 people to the shows at best. I agree, more people should know about him - that's why I listed his name.

I will even do a b&p for a great two-disc CD set of one of his live performances if anyone is interested.

PM me if so.

Fred J Eaglesmith and the Flying Squirrels. From Port Dover Ontario.

Folk/Bluegrass/Country - amazing songwriter.

[Littleproud]

If your going to say Fred, then you've got to say Willie P Bennett. However, Fred and Willie are legendary in folk circles.

I was under the impression Fred was from Regina for some reason.
