The Innocence Mission

Official Website: http://www.theinnocencemission.com

The Innocence Mission hails from the Amish Country. Centered on husband-and-wife songwriters Karen and Don Peris,the original group, including Mike Bitts (bass) and Steve Brown (drums), was formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the early '80s. Their music appeared in the movie Empire Records and on the television series Party of Five.

Here is a video I found on YouTube of their song "Lakes of Canada", it's not an actual music video, but will let you hear the original version of this song (Sufjan Stevens has covered this one)...
