Interesting in the context of contemporary.....On that basis....I'd say we'll hear more soon from Sara Guthrie....probably has the best potential out of the Seeger/Guthrie clan....neat kid, good stuff.

Others, I would think Garnet Rogers, Chris Smither, Kate Rusby, Robin and Linda Williams (though they have been around awhile too), John McCutcheon too I'd think and hopefully Si Kahn. Karen loves Shawn Mullins so I'll go with her on him. Jay Ungar ought to fit in here somewhere too.

I agree on the Prine/Paxton stuff...they're still contemporary I'd say. Most others mentioned here have potential too.....Hey, it's folk-"Time Will Tell"
