these bands could entertain people for hours without a break and without lyrics. basic rock-n-roll. less is more.
RX BANDITS
without a doubt... without a doubt.
dan bern - somewhat politically inclined acoustic uitarist and singer, also quite funny
crush luther - relatively young but still experienced band out of toronto, i think they just signed so i don't know how "unknown" they are, but their good -
sage francis - political speak-his-mind old school rap artists from rhode island - also not that "unknown", but i think he counts.
those are 3 extremely different styles for you.
RX Bandits are awesome. If you like them, check out Zox
Among Criminals and Islands are also very good.

Robert Earl Keen. He's huge in Texas but I don't think people have heard of him anywhere else. If you're not from Texas and I'm wrong about that let me know.
Tacks the Boy Disaster.

Hes definitly a great musician. Another great one that needs to be mentioned is James McMurtry.
David Berman (silver jews) has put out several very solid records and is still relatively unknown.
