I would say Sufjan Stevens, but you already listen to him. I've heard that Over the Rhine are Christian Folk but I've never listened to them so I can't really say.

I like Over The Rhine. They're cool.

I would say People You Meet. They have sort of ceased to exist, though.

Are you looking for indie music and folk music, or folk indie music? If it's the latter, I'd recommend Aaron Sprinkle right off the bat. Another acoustic album I like is Chris Staples's (formerly of twothirtyeight and now the one-man band Discover America) Blackest Hair, Bluest Eyes.

Pierce Pettis (folkish-country singer-songwriter extraordinaire)
Kemper Crabb (medievalist, multi-instrumentalist; find him at MagnaTune)
Derek Webb (the obvious choice, for me; first album = bluegrassy; second album = atmospheric)
Andrew Peterson (I've only heard his Christmas album, but... let's just say it's the best Christmas album ever)
The Lost Dogs (more old-school twangy country than anything, but still)

I also second Over The Rhine... emphatically.

Kemper Crabb is really the only true indie on that list, but I wasn't sure what you meant by that anyway.

In His love,
Nate

Jay Farrar...but he's not a Christian (as far as I know). Still, Terroir Blues is a really cool album.

I also like Ashley Cleveland, though she's certainly not indie at all.

I picked up two Jan Krist albums tonight for like $2 each at my local Christian bookstore. Pretty neat stuff. Along the lines of Cleveland and Pettis and others in their vein.

In His love,
Nate

Good stuff. Haven't heard that one song that got semi-popular for a while, though. It was a nice song.
