    Try, Gordon Lightfoot, he’s a folk song writer and singer.

    I’m a big fan of The Brobdingnagian Bards (Austin, TX) and Marc Gunn! Of course, the Chieftans are still around. They all play Celtic and folk music. The Celtic Women are good, too. I like their albums, The Journey and Songs From the Heart.
