I'm really into some of James Carrington's stuff. He's not overly big I don't think but he has some fantastic songs. Particularly, you may want to look at 'Ache'. You can get the demo version on iTunes, which is way better than the new recording that you can find on his myspace (www.myspace.com/jamescarrington).
