If there are, let's get a thread going to exchange artists in this Genre. The music tends to be very minimalist in it's recording and as a result, has a very natural dynamic sound.

Larry Carlton (some)
Eric Clapton
Robert Cray

I saw Taj Mahal as the opening to a Stevie Ray Vaughn concert 2 weeks before he (SRV) was killed. Taj Mahal played solo and it was completely engaging entertainment.

 

[NiceCans]

3 more I can think of offhand:

Jimmy Thackery
Sonny Landreth
Tinsley Ellis

Gotta pick up some Black Keys if you can do lo-fi blues with a rock bent. I love that band.

 

[PrzemekDraheim]

I am a blues radio DJ from Poland. If you like the blues I invite you to check out my website's archive with over 100 hours of blues broadcasts at: Przemek Draheim's official website

There are some good suggestions on this list, but every time I hear "modern electric blues" I keep thinking of that band Blueshammer featured to hilarious effect in the movie Ghost World.

Maybe I'm stretching the word "modern" by including so many artists who had their best output during the 50s to the 70s (especially on Chess), but I would add:

Howlin' Wolf
Little Walter
Magic Sam
Muddy Waters
Sonny Boy Williamson
Otis Rush
Luther Allison
Bo Diddley
Son Seals
JB Hutto

 

[Pangaea]

x2 on Otis Taylor!!!

...also Michael Powers: Onyx Root or Prodigal Son
