Benjamin James

This guy (from North Carolina) is a mellow folky singer-songwriter type that I recently discovered.  His vocals and a lot of his musical style reminds me strongly of Zach Winters.  It's extremely understated (for the most part) but quite powerful at times.  The backing instrumentation is highly variable, going from just guitar up to what sounds like a full orchestra.  The lyrics are a bit less random and more directly biblical than Zach Winters'.  Give his music a listen.  He apparently released two albums last year.
