Kings of Convenience. A good song to try is 'Homesick' on their album Riot on an Empty Street)

Second Simon and Garfunkel and the Indigo Girls. The Milk Carton Kids have a similar, updated Simon and Garfunkel vibe.
For trios, try the Roches (sublime harmony) and the Wailin' Jennys. Looking for more suggestions myself. |
