Where are the acoustic fingerpickers these days?

Over the last couple of weeks, I've enjoyed going back to a few acoustic/folk/blues albums from decades past - a bit of Davey Graham, John Fahey, Ralph McTell, etc. All those nifty fingerpickers who could make a single acoustic guitar sound like two or three instruments at once.

It reminded me of a few threads on here lately, where one of the criticisms levelled at Ed Sheeran was that although he's reasonably* handy with a loop pedal, the guitar parts he plays are pretty unremarkable. Which, conversely, made me wonder: where are all the genuinely impressive acoustic twiddlers these days?

(Closest I could find was Martin Simpson, and he's not exactly new to the scene...)
