Don't know if he qualifies as lesser known but in any case his back catalogue is impressive - Loudon Wainwright III
Got every album he has released.
He fills auditoriums.
Doubt he is lesser known.

quite right.....I'm having a Nick Drake afternoon. and was a bit impulsive....I'll get my coat. On my way out I'll think of a few lesser known ones.

Depends on who you are comparing him to. Some auditoriums are not that big.
There ought to be some kind of scale. Maybe with The Beatles at the top, and some remote Amazonian tribe's noseflute player at the bottom.
Judee Sill, an artist that few have heard of but who happens to be brilliant. Rather tragic short life though.On reading your title I was going to suggest Harry Chapin, but you’re way ahead of me.
How about Paul Buchanan, both for his solitary solo album “Mid Air” and his work with The Blue Nile, and Willie Vlautin, songwriter with Richmond Fontaine and The Delines?
(Above examples selected on the basis that my Pa hasn’t had time for much popular music since Chapin died, but enjoys and has seen both in concert.)
Also, how about Judee Sill, sort of a female Bill Fay?
