Who's your favourite non-mainstream Artist(s)?

[OwllwOOwllwO]

I usually only listen to music of lesser known artists and I love finding new talent to listen too.
At the moment I'm obsessed with a singer named Scott Matthews, actually I've been obcessed for almost two years. I saw him live last year and he seriously he blewmy mind when he sung. (Think of a more acoustic Jeff Buckley and that's him)
Another singer I saw live was Fink, again amazing! I was heavily pregnant when I saw him and my DD actually enjoys his music too now she's outside my womb.
Both these artists should be far more popular then the crap out there at the moment.

Let me know about any artists you think are amazing as I love my music and its always interesting hearing what others listen too.

Epica - symphonic metal at its absolute best. Also love Nightwish, even without Tarja.
