This is more about musical artists, in which there are a ton of bands and songwriters who never got wealth or the fame they deserved for their work. One I always praise to my music-minded friends is the Canadian band, Sloan. They have been making great records with the same lineup since the early 90's. They are just a really fine Rock & Roll band, who continue to put out fine albums to mostly deaf ears...
All four members write and sing their own songs and will switch instruments on stage and in the studio. They are most popular in their native Canada, but can only pull theater crowds there and can only play to club-sized crowds here in the U.S. They are a band that continues to put out great music and are one of the finest under the radar bands on the planet. They will likely never get their due.
John Fullbright. While I’m sure he is doing just fine financially, and has been producing more lately, he is an extremely talented song writer and a captivating live performer that you can still see playing pretty small venues.

I like your description "just a really fine rock and roll band", sometimes when you don't have a *trick* it's hard to get noticed
