I was looking all over the forum for mentions of new artists and I decided to help consolidate them all in one place by creating a thread for them here.
If you have discovered a new (or just new to you) artist, or know an artist that deserves better recognition, tell us about him/her/them here.
I'll begin by mentioning someone I just stubled across: Vienna Teng. If you like Norah Jones, Tori Amos, and Sarah McLachlan, I'd give her a listen.

She was on NPR as i was driving back from work, i would have normally switched channels but stuck to the interview when cisco systems was mentioned, she is an ex cisco-ite and i consult there.....
the songs played in the npr show were quiet good, i remember the lullaby that was featured in the show...i guess i will buy her CD in the near future.....
I really enjoy celtic music or any group influenced by celtic music, they sound great on axiom as they have a rich midrange.....
Dreamcatcher by secret garden is one album i would recommend [ sorry peter , am deviating from the subject i guess ]

If Celtic music with some punk (uh, lots of punk) influence sounds appealing to you -- kind of the Clash meets the Pogues meets the Chieftains -- try Dropkick Murphys. They're not exactly "new" artists, since they have 5-6 CDs, but they're not well known yet outside their mainstay Boston-area and Irish diaspora audiences.
I recommend the "Blackout" CD. The two full downloads available from the "Blackout" page on their Website are great examples of their stuff.
"These go to eleven."

if you hate Tori but love Sarah don't listen to Nine Inch Nails.
Try Patricia Barber and Norah Jones.

Excellent idea for a thread! I've discovered so many new artists through message boards. It's great to have them all in one easy to browse place!
Here are a few of my lesser known favs...(or at least not so mainstream) I've provided links to particular favorite albums by each artist.
Bent
Charlie Haden
Dead Can Dance
Brian Eno
Robert Rich
Patrick O'Hearn
Groove Armada
Basement Jaxx

wow. I can conclusively say that your music tastes differ greatly from mine.

I get that a lot.
Though that's a pretty diverse choice of music there. You hate all of it?

Hate is a very strong word. I'm familiar with Eno and enjoy his style, but Jaxx was too gay night-clubby for me. Having been to a gay night club, I feel I can say that. (A friend dragged me into one in San Fancisco -- and she implied that refusing showed that I was uncomforable with my own sexuality. What choice did I have? )
The others are not my style, but I could give them a chance if convinced to.
