All great choices.  Paul DeLay has passed on, but while he was alive he recorded a number of records that featured a very original chromatic harp style, not to mention a terrific band and fine songwriting.  Well worth hearing.

Paul Reddick and the Sidemen have recorded some nice stuff, including "Criminal," which got a lot of airplay as the soundtrack for a Coke commercial.  

There are many, many others out there.  Enjoy.
