Suggestions please

[ksmitty1223]

I've been looking for that next artist that I really love and I've been having a very hard time. I'm looking for a singer-song writer along the lines of Owen, Kevin Devine, Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, Iron and Wine. I would much appreciate a couple suggestions. Theres a big chance I already know the artist that you will mention, but hopefully there will be a suggestion or two that I've never heard of. Thank you so much

Devendra Banhart, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, The Dodos, Okkervil River.

Nick Drake, Conor Oberst, Bon Iver, Rilo Kiley, Belle and Sebastian, Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, etc.

Okkervil River comes to mind, however, next time post in the reccomendations thread, it will save you 10 infraction points.
