Atwater-Donnelly - husband/wife team - down-home, Appalachia-style, solid folk duo. Seen 'em many times.

Brooks Williams - A certain James Taylor quality (meant to be a positive endorsement), strong instrumentalist, nice slide guitar. Iron Horse a great venue.

Del McCoury - what more can you ask. Local, and great!
