Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music

So an old friend recently posted this query on his Facebook account. Any suggestions for this eloquent fellow?

" Really in the mood for some new, smart, beautifully written, acoustic folk inspired music from someone with a good set of pipes. A mash-up of Kelly Joe Phelps, The Wailin' Jennys, Harry Manx, and Shovels & Rope would be perfect. Does said lusciousness exist? Hit me with your rhythm stick. Thanks"

Yes,have him go to Pandora or Spotify & get a free Basic account.From there simply enter one song or band or even "acoustic folk" & EVERY group with a similar style will be played.I’ve discovered 20 + artists I never would have known existed if it weren’t for Pandora.
