Southern Culture on the Skids is the only band I have all the albums from. The live shows are awesome. They've started throwing the fried chicken again as of the last show I saw.

Super Suckers country extravaganza album. They are a metal band that is talented enough to put out a rippen country album

I like this new one by Charlie Parr, except I feel I'm past my last better days.

Another Minnesota band, the Gear Daddies.

If you grew up in MN in the late 80s/early 90s they may not qualify as ‘obscure’, but their whole catalog has been downloaded to my phone since you were able to get music on your phone.

Their most ‘famous’ song:

Chatham Rabbits, a fairly local folk duo. Kinda derivative of Mandolin Orange/Watchhouse (which may be considered obscure by most too, I guess). Lots of pretty melodies and cool little stories in their music. One of my favorites:

 

[Treeshark]

Probably not so obscure to the older fellas, but it is to my generation. Great start to finish.

Trampled By Turtles got me on Charlie Parr around 2012. Both parties are great music!

You ever run across that Ten Sleep guy?

Now you know why being a DJ got interesting - no one listens to "mainstream music" anymore. Finding a song that made a room of 300 happy was hard.

My all-time favorite is Larry Norman. I never got to see him before he passed, but rarely does a day go by when I don't listen to his stuff. Been a huge fan since about 1986.

His Mos famous song was the themesong for the movie "The Cross and the Switchblade" it was called "I Wish We'd All Been Ready."

RIP Larry.

Yeah, I think I’ve seen him locally a couple of times! Good stuff! I always forget about him until I see/hear him again!

That one wasn't on one of my playlists (cd's in the visor of my S-10 in college), but this one was. During the times of Napster/Limewire for sure!
