  • I've listened to Mandolin Orange before and really liked them. Thanks for the reminder! Great choices on the videos too.

    Jason Isbell.
    Last night he played acoustic in a small, local, historic theater. So, sooo good. Just him, Amanda, and Sadler Vaden. I've seen Isbell a handful of times thru the years, each time with a full backing band. He's aces in any format however acoustic seems to be his sweet spot as the stripped down sound really highlights him as a songwriter. He is, IMO, peerless among singer/songwriters of his generation.

    They are gaining popularity in their home country, Australia. Their debut album was very well received here and they absolutely kill it live. I can't wait to see them live again and hope they go on to have worldwide appeal
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    Man, I would’ve loved to have seen that. Glad you were able to, buddy.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Cool thread!  introduced me to a lot of artists I wasn't aware of so thanks for posting..  I am assuming we are staying away from solo artists that are PJ members (: and any big names like Jack White.. or Jack Johnson? (Tom Waits has already been mentioned.. and edit because Nick Cave hasn't been mentioned..)..  So I will have to say Cat Power definitely is one.. she is pure magic.. her lives are just mesmerizing and out of this world.. and then this kid Arsun opened for her and I have to say though probably too soon, I feel he needs to be on this list..  Sivert Hoyem.. Conor Oberst!..  just to name a few
    Edit to add Natalie Merchant! and Norah Johnes
    Ok edit to say sorry I just realized you were talking about male only singer/song writers..(:
