A kinder, gentler Tommy Emmanuel...
HiThere
The Living Force
I too listen to Mark Knopfler and Tommy Emmanuel; both have unique voices on their instruments, expresses themselves through their music, and are examples of dignity and how to be an ambassador for pure music with little time for B.S.
I once saw a review of a live show with Mark Knopfler, where the reviewer complained about the lack of a light show and found the playing "too docile".
It goes to show that for some/most people, the primary objective for going to a concert is to look for something to sweep them off their feet, a quick kick.
To actually play and express yourself purely thorugh the music is deemed to be of little entertainment value, it seems. Tommy Emmanuel is incredible, and shows humour and warmth in his gigs without being the slightest bit arrogant or proud of his amazing playing. It is humbling and inspiring to behold! :)

IMO the best female voice in Australia, Katie Noonan, this track is when she was in a band called George, such a pity they split up, they were amazing live! If you like he voice, she has quite a lot of solo material :)
George - Spawn
keeping on the Australian music bent, here's another favourite. Nick Cave - The Ship Song

I like this song by 21 Pilots, because I think it captures the idea of feeling crappy well while putting it in the positive context of being part of something bigger:
I love this one from Chris Spheeris when feeling sad or homesickness. The sound of the flute riding over its stimulating tempo gives me then access to a deep joy. The main theme starts within 45 sec. and those who like these playful delphins the video is uplifting too:

Nice song about being in this World, but not of it, from Mother to Man.
