I often want to buy a cd by someone I don't already know. How to find new singer/songwriters? Check out WXPN's list of featured albums.
Another place to browse is CD Baby, where independent artists sell their wares. Lots of sound clips and links to artist web sites. Here are the different types of new folk:
During one browse on CD Baby, I found Michelle Greene. I love to listen songs in Spanish, even Gloria Estefan, even if I don't understand all the Spanish.
Record labels are great sources too, but you have to know the labels first.
Of course, festivals, where lots of artists play are a way to hear artists you already know and hear new ones with relatively low risk.
