I have several Instrumental artists that I enjoy listening to and I would like to add some more artists to that list so I would like to hear some recommendations. 🙂

Hi @TannerPandora

I think @RagnerTheHiker is referring to bands where there is no vocalist and they play songs without lyrics.

Yes, I am sorry for any confusion.:)

Mine is John Williams. He composed the music for some franchises such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, E.T., Superman and Jurassic Park.

I also like listening Kfir Ochaion. He's a guitarist and usually does covers of other songs.

I am into Pachyman! He makes fun, groovy, throw-back dub music. Great for relaxing 🌴

Great question, @RagnerTheHiker!

I’ve always loved jazz, especially John Coltrane, but I also gravitate toward more electronic instrumental artists like Evil Needle, Misha, and Iamnobodi.

I enjoy songs almost fully instrumental songs with subtle vocals. I've shared a couple below:

No One Else by Sango

Pon Pón by Khruangbin

Hey. I just came across your name, from browsing posts. I checked out your profile, because I'm a biker. I have some riding playlists that you might like. One of my main ones isn't complete, on Pandora. I either didn't have enough time, or couldn't find all the songs, when I had a free trial. I was getting the songs from my Spotify playlists. I don't know, if you can see my playlists, if I don't currently have a subscription, but check my profile out. I'll see if I can find yours.

For this subject, I thought you might like Anika Niles. I only know about her, because of the announcement that Rush is going to go on a tribute tour, and she is their drummer. She has a solo career, playing modern instrumental jazz-fusion. I have a station called "Instrumental Fusion" that I recently started based on her and bands such as Polyphia, Plini, and Intervals.

I think my favorite instrumental artist, for Rock, would be between Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.

Even though Enya does have lyrics in many of her songs, I do love her instrumental pieces. I have a playlist on Spotify that's just her instrumental pieces. It's called "Enstrumental (Enya Instrumental)". I use it for walking at night.
