If you like folky/americana kinda stuff, you have to check out William Elliot Whitmore.

I like Matt Nathanson. He has a big following, but I'm not sure if he is very well known.

Anyone who loves folk/indie needs to check out, The Mountain Goats, Bon Iver, The Tallest Man on Earth, Laura Stevenson & the Cans, Andrew Bird, Elliott Smith, The Antlers, Ben Folds, Deerhunter, and oh so many more... Sorry for so many recommendations, but my only greater passion than Hot Peppers is MUSAK!

And to add to the discussion, Ben Lacey, Scott Henderson, Oz Noy, Eric Glass (INFRIGGINSANE composer, guitarist, and bud), Alan Holdsworth, and not so unheard of Pat Metheny, and Vangelis.

I got to see Ben play this in person about 3 feet in front of me at the Baked Potato in LA. It was mind blowing:
