Cheesiness is in the ear of the beholder (if I even know what the term means!). Stuff I love may be stuff you hate, and vice versa, even though it's all good. Some non-cheesy (I assume) people I like: Norm Walker, Ian Bell, Moira Cameron, Wendell Ferguson, Paddy Tutty, Matthew Byrne, to name only a few. Google them; mostly they don't have national distribution. Or do some research: check out reviews in back issues of Canadian Folk Music magazine, available on-line (http://cfmb.icaap.org/archives.html) and see what jumps out at you. Full disclosure: I'm the reviews editor, but the reviews reflect the authors' opinions, not mine. Good hunting!
