how about William Elliot Whitmore, or Kasey anderson. I also like William Fitzimmons. I never think of Dave Alvin as obscure but who knows. Also check out Hammill on trial. Kimya Dawson and the low Anthem.

Matthew

A fantastic selection. Hammel on Trial was just crazy and the low Anthem were very soulful, All great offerings Thanks. Today I have found some great new music.

Note the kalimba being played in the first verse.

If you like Frank Zappa or Captain Beefheart, you may want to check out my late friend, Zoogz Rift.

One of my favorites is Olds Sleeper.  He is a brilliant song writer, excellent singer, and outstanding all-around musician. Very gifted individual.

This is a good one.   I can not come  with anyone obscure, but some of my out of the mainest stream folks would be Iowans Greg Brown and William Elliot Whitmore.   Dan Reeder, Gillian Welch and my favorite bluesman, Guy Davis.  Oh, Maybe Lazy Lester too and Justin Townes Earle.
