Hey,
Could anyone recommend any good acoustic/folk bands or artists? Preferebly where its only the guitar and singer, and is more emotional. (Not like the poppy Jack Johnson stuff)

Perhaps fingerpicking and relaxing music? like this:

Bit Like Ed Sheeran and John Mayer? Or just some acoustic from punk bands.

Thanks

I'm scared to offer what I think you're looking for, because I like a lot of Jack Johnson-ish stuff (he's an amazing person to listen to when you go to bed) but I'm also looking for a lot more folksy artists to add to my library. It's basically all I want to listen to lately. So thanks for making this thread OP!

Try The Civil Wars, Ray LaMontagne, Damien Rice, Iron & Wine, and Elliot Smith. I'm not sure if these are the kind of artists you're looking for, but I think they fit into the category.

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but The Tallest Man On Earth comes to mind for me.
