Wow! I love that feeling when you hear something magical the first time. I know I'll be hearing this in my head for the next week. Great thread BTW.

All great suggestions in the prior posts.

I will add to the list:

Don Ross (along with his protege, Calum Graham)
Peppino D'Agostino
Al Petteway
Antoine DuFour

[boombox]

In no particular order, and sticking to those I have seen myself in the last year or so: Pierre Bensusan, Don Ross, Thomas Leeb, Jon Gomm, Preston Reed, Andy McKee, Martin Simpson and don't discount her just as a singer: Janis Ian.

I agree on Rbin Bullock and Steve Baughman.

A little off topic but I saw Steely Dan a week ago and their lead player almost stoe the show. Sorry I don't know his name.

Tommy Emmanuel

Frank Vignola and Tommy Rainolo - possible spelling errors...

[bho]

Folks I have seen in the last few years and who are still touring:

Laura Marling
Colin Hay
Neil Finn
James Taylor
Joe Henry
Shovels & Rope
Milk Carton Kids
Jackson Browne

Let me add our very own Toby Walker. He puts on a great performance and has great style!

[JeremiahB.]

I think someone's already mentioned his name, but Doyle Dykes is absolutely amazing live. I've seen him twice and the things and sounds he can make come out of a guitar are insane. Great guy, too! Very nice and willing to share his knowledge.

I missed Tommy E and James Taylor this year due to work and vacation, not that I'm bitter. Seeing Andy McKee in a few weeks.

If he's touring I'd like to see Thom bresh son of the late great merle Travis (the man for which Travis picking was named)

+1 on that. If you do a Facebook like to Bresh, he plays at a lot of small venues, for the most part within 1-2 days drive of Nashville. He seems to show up at a lot of stuff. The biggie would be the CAAS gathering every year. I'd love to meet the guy... He makes me smile.

Strong second here.

Not sure if he's touring but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Phil Keaggy.
