New Brony Musicians—Let's Have 'Em! · 9:31pm Jan 15th, 2016
A little while ago, EqD ran an article about the sad state of brony music. There are good musicians still out there, including new ones, but their work is lost in a sea of unoriginal stuff, and it is much more difficult for them to accumulate subscribers.
In the above video, Forest Rain and Luna Jax cover one of those new musicians: WoodLore. Bluegrass music has never grabbed me before, but damned if this guy can't rock that acoustic:
I'd say it's time to give the under-appreciated a little love. If you know of a brony musician who has appeared in the past two years and still labors in relative obscurity, leave a comment and a sample piece (one embed per musician, please.)
Cheers,
HV
Woodlore's great. I think I prefer his version of the song, though.
Obscure artists, hmm. Maybe Cherax Destructor?
Shameless plug for my a cappella choir, the SoCal Ponytones
I'm still dreaming of a SGAP album will drop out of the sky
I might try my own hoof. I play a mean white boy blues
GeoDesicdragon linked me here. I'm up for vocals, I'm just not a songwriter really. two exmaples:

Also found my way here care of GeoDesicdragon, so some self promotion for myself. Nice to see some appreciation for the relatively unknown artists.
I liked Down South in Appleoosa well enough. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, Vox! Check out Wasteland Wailers. Even if Fallout or FOE ain't your thing, it's really fun hearing pony music that's straight out of 40's big band era
Some punk-ish rock for you.
Then some quality progressive rock. (It deserves another adjective, but I'm not the one to ask for proper genre names.)
Followed by one of the most powerful songs I've heard in this fandom.
Thanks for the post... we need more appriciation for lesser known music. My own contribution... not new by any means, but there's not nearly enough ska in pony and this one never got enough attention.

How could Dan Shive have known, years ago when he drew some fan art mashing up ponies and Fallout, that his idea would be used to spawn an internet cottage industry? I'll be surprised if that game is ever finished, though.

Every time I think this fandom can't surprise me anymore with its creativity, it does it again. I'll be sure to check these guys out.
