Finding a singer with baritone to bass range
I've been taking voice lessons, and Im a low baritone to bass range, and I can get up to some treble stuff but I still need work on that. Ive been practicing with Beatles and John Frusciante songs, but is there any singer that's not a tenor singer. The only one Ive been able to find is Eddie Vedder.
Thanks..

Elvis, Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Morrisey, Danzig, David Bowie, Brian May, and the Robin Trower band (james dewar), me....
some of them stray into tenor, but they're mostly baritone-range.

Chris Cornell and Jim Morrison are two of the best baritone rock singers.
It is tougher to pull off because you are singing in the same register as the chords. Frank Sinatra was a baritone, as were many other crooners. If you are willing to give that stuff a try, there is some great singing to be found. And of course, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker.

Surprisingly, Rob Halford sounds pretty good in the baritone range, even though he's known more for his high range.

The guy with the Crash Test Dummies has a very deep voice.

I'm in a similar position, and singing along to stuff, I find that most songs drift into tenor range at some point, even Ed Vedder. Which is where Eb tuning comes in handy, giving youi a semi-tone's worth of help at the high end of the scale.
I'm surprised how high I can go at times. I've worked my way up to a G for exercises, though it's a struggle. Singing E/F in a song is now easy for me, whereas when I started it was frankly impossible. This from a 44 yr male with no history of singing competence. When I started, I was thinking more along the lines of Long John Baldry than Axel or Bono.

I'm in the same boat also. Most rock/pop/folk singing is out of my natural range (although some can be transposed without sounding too strange). The capo is your friend as you can capo up some and then transpose down an octave.
Aside from the suggestions made by others, don't forget Johnny Cash. Several country types (Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, etc.) have pretty deep voices as well, if you like that stuff.
