I'm thinking the following might be at least somewhat obscure.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrt822SsTIY - Can be heard on a They Might Be Giants Album, Factory Showroom I believe.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3_R3iYd9zA - Has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, that's why he wears ring splints.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV4Serbwg0k - Celtic musician born in my home state of Arkansas.

Testing some North American musicians that don't have English-language Wikipedia articles.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM4GkJnOu8o - Canadian rockabilly, a bit repetitive.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9FgN2jWarA - It's not necessarily good, but it makes me laugh or smile. He's originally Caribbean.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voOVeZI2e8c - I like vibes, they can be quite soothing. (Winchester is the one intended here, I did Wess already)

The trouble is, I don't know what's hot, what's not, what's been and what's considered obscure now. I'm completely out of the loop and listen to whatever catches my attention. So, I don't know if all of these are obscure, even the very old ones:
The Boswell Sisters ~ I learned about them from Magdalen Fossum.
Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band
The Gothard Sisters
The Puppini Sisters
The Rankin Family
Imagine Dragons
Avalanche City
Doc Watson
Clan Tynker
Gregorian
Al Bowlly
