Gillian Welch is beautiful! When I lived in Dayton she used to play there pretty regularly. Everyone knew her there I remember seeing Allison Kraus and Union Station at Canal Street, they played for maybe 20 people--I ran into the VP of Students/Res life of my University there. It was 6 years after I graduated and he still remembered me, he was/is awesome.
Walter, have you heard of Wussy? Or the Ass Ponys?
