Eaglesmith, Fred
A blend of rock, folk, and country compared to Guy Clark, Steve Earle, and Joe Ely. With his band the Flying Squirrels, Eaglesmith goes for a loose, rootsy, energetic sound that's a welcome departure from slick folk-pop.

Earle, Steve
Earle has made a legendary comeback to be better than ever.

Eberhardt, Cliff
A blues soul with a rock sensibility packed into an acoustic guitar. No one writes better about unrequited love and hard times.

Eddie From Ohio
Upbeat folk-pop band leaves folkies feeling happy. Official Home Page.

Edwards, Jonathan
Veteran folk/rocker's 1971 million-selling song "Sunshine" ("go away today...") brought him instant fame, but he's made a more lasting contribution to folk-pop and bluegrass.

Egge, Ana
Lucid writing and midwestern sensibility have earned this young artist an instant following - especially among her peers.

Eggleston, Kat
Pure distinctive alto, percussive fingerpicking, original folk. Site includes sound clips and on-line store.

Fairport Convention
The classic British folk-rock group that helped start England's new traditional movement.

Fink, Cathy & Marcy Marxer
Well-known children's musicians. Sweet voices and solid instrumental work.

Fleck is an absolutely ground-breaking, original artist. Has taken bluegrass to new dimensions.

Forbert, Steve
This smart folk-rocker made waves in the 80's - still shakes it up. Site includes discography, lyrics, tour schedule, and on-line ordering.

Franke, Bob
One of the folk scene's elder statesmen. Especially in his early work, Franke's religious faith illuminates the realm of human love and social issues. "Hard Love," "For Real," and "Thanksgiving Eve" (original version) are classics.

Friedman, Richard "Kinky"
Inimitable comic writer made his reputation with novelty songs like "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore."
