I'm always interested in finding new and unknown artists. If you're willing to listen to a lot of music, you can find some really great music; usually for short money as they get started and try to establish themselves.
The web site Amie Street is one of my favourite places to check out new music (hmm, i should blog about that :) One recent find has been Caleb Collins.
He's got a Christmas album out, simply called Christmas. Mostly standards, but he's put a nice twist on them. Some nice ballads. A big band style 'let it snow'. A swing version of 'God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen". But what's even better - it's cheap. Right now only $2.50 for the whole album; and a large chunk of the money goes to the artist himself. Plus, on AMIE, you get to listen to a long sample of each song before you buy. Check it out now - the more people buy, the higher the price goes...
Check him out.
