Eddie From Ohio
Upbeat folk-pop band leaves everyone feeling happy. Official Home Page.

Edwards, Jonathan
Veteran folk/rocker's 1971 million-selling song "Sunshine" ("go away today...") brought him instant fame, but he's made a more lasting contribution to folk and bluegrass.

Gilbert, Vance
Vance is one of the greatest performers on the folk scene, with his huge voice and comic genius. His sentimental songs capture the hearts of his audiences.

Greenway, Greg
Greg belts out songs about nature, spirituality and the left's favorite social issues - pop feel with an increasing gospel influence. Imagine a New Age Baptist preacher.

Johnston, Freedy
Deceptively simple writing with increasingly pop production.

Kennedy, Pete & Maura
Popular, dynamic duo. Pete is a dazzling virtuoso guitarist and Maura is a versatile singer. Latest album breaks new ground - sonically and writing-wise - and pretty much leaves folk behind.

Moxy Früvous
The music of this highly original, musically eclectic Canadian group ranges from silly to extremely clever. Outstanding performers, you can't help feeling good at one of their shows.

Professor and Maryann
New York based acoustic duo. The Svengali/ingenue combination plays light, romantic songs described as jazz-pop/Tin Pan Alley.

Rao, Tom Prasado
Prasado Rao is upbeat and world-embracing, with uplifting themes and infectious rhythms. Sweet sentiments.

Smith, Debi
Songwriter, chanteuse & longtime member of the Bitchin' Babes.

Taylor, Livingston
Great musician and consummate performer. Does a significant amount of children's music too.

Trout Fishing in America
This quirky pair are among the best songwriters and performers for kids, but they have a huge fanbase of adults too.

Werner, Susan
A consummate performer, when Werner brought her classical training to the intimate stages of folk clubs and coffeehouses it was a revelation. Warm, funny and vocally explosive, she knocks you out of your seat.

Wilcox, David
A much-admired guitarist and velvety vocalist, Wilcox broke into the mass market briefly with his upbeat mellow songs and heart-warming sentiments.
