Just off the top of my head, there are plenty more out there, this will be a great thread, it's always cool to check out artists you haven't heard of yet.

In fact nearly all my music's on vinyl, over 800 mint records from 43 years of collecting.
Speaking of Clapton, on today's playlist are the Mobile Fidelity vinyl of "Slowhand" and an SACD of "Layla" by Derick and the Dominoes.
Guitars were mentioned, Duane and Eric together came to me like an epiphany.
Some days you just gotta turn it up to 11.
But Clapton does a damn good job on it, FWIW ... I still missed Gilmour though 
Twas very nice except for the flooding/storms on the north side of the islands, big problems.
But I just got back and had no music for 14 days, time to crank it up again.
Btw, I have two original Blind Faith albums with the naked too young girl, collector items.
Badge is one of my all time faves.
My stereo is calling
And it goes to 11
From Canada, never did go really famous but boy can he play, I've seen him with Rush in 1979 and every time I can since then.
I have a hot stamper white label promo that's been autographed.
"Putting it Straight" as far as I'm concerned it's his best.
Jazz and Jazz fusion guitarists had a golden age in the 70s and 80s though.
I know it was a coincidence in timing but it seemed like interest waned after Larry Carlton got shot.
But there are fabulous players toiling in anonymity in most genres. The issue is that in Jazz they could rise to the top of the global jazz scene and not be known by more than 1% of the world's population.
On the plus side it would be a very smug, self selected 1%
I'll just lay low here waiting for the Jazz heads to come after me
I never heard of this man.
That second vid in particular hit my buttons, even though I can't understand a single word he sang.
I suppose that there are amazing classical musicians that I would never hear of.
I admit to being a heathen in that regard. Other than when my Grandma took me to see the Pittsburgh Philharmonic ( When Andre Previn was conducting) I don't have much background in this...
She plays that thing like a harp
I'm glad you enjoyed! He's well known in Canada, but not really anywhere else. He's a proud Torontonian, and never tried to break into any other market. Just a guy who seriously only cares about music. Here's his instagram. https://www.instagram.com/thornicus/
lots of videos of him just jamming. He absolutely just loves playing guitar. And also just a nice down to earth guy.
Head Together and A Million Days are two of my new favourites, its from the album Albatross.. which I had only started getting into in the past year. Its a great album, and all new to me. But my very favourite from the album is Control... damn... I crank that shit full blast in my car (I have a nice stereo), and I throw it on repeat and scream my lungs out I have literally lost my voice to that song! And practically given myself whiplash during that SICK riff ahaha!
The mid/late '90s Canadian rock scene was super awesome back in the day, and there were a bunch of artists who toured together, and got huge radio play in Canada. I'm not sure if many American's know what I am talking about, but during the late 90s early '00s we had some real serious talent here. Many of those bands have recently gotten back together -- Big Wreck disbanded for a decade, as Ian went solo for two albums. So here are some Canadian rock bands to give a listen to... bluesy hard rock has always been big here.
I'll throw down some other bands here you'll probably enjoy as well...
