I like the blues, but quite honestly, I don't know a whole lot about contemporary artists. I've been reading up on Keb'Mo' at wikipedia--he's quite accomplished as a video and film performer:
In 1998 he portrayed the blues legend Robert Johnson in a documentary film, Can't You Hear the Wind Howl?
In 1999 he portrayed the character Isaac, the Angel of Music, in the episode "Then Sings My Soul" of the highly-acclaimed television series Touched By An Angel. He performed "Hand It Over" from his 1996 release "Just Like You."
In 2004 he participated in the politically-motivated Vote for Change Tour alongside Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne with whom he originally recorded the title track from the album Just Like You.
In 2006 he appeared in the last episode of the West Wing to perform "America the Beautiful."
In January 2007, he performed at the Sundance Film Festival.
He plays the role of the mischievous spirit "Possum" in the 2007 John Sayles movie "Honeydripper"
Keb'Mo' is part of the No Nukes group which is against the expansion of nuclear power. In 2007 the group recorded a music video of a new version of the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth."
