Do a YouTube search on the following and see if you like any of these:

Joe Bonamassa
Johnny Winter (my fave albums of his are "Still Alive And Well" and "Johnny Winter And"
Gary Moore
Walter Trout
Aynsley Lister
Derek Trucks
Doyle Bramhall II (Welcome)
Albert King
Freddie King
Peter Green (John Mayall's "Hard Road" or early Fleetwood Mac
Jeff Beck (check out the "Truth" album)
ZZ Top (Tres Hombres is a fab place to start)
Albert Collins

Blackhorse Slim

Agree with pretty much all the above, Id also add Warren Haynes (Govt Mule), Derek Trucks (Derek Trucks band), John Mayer (the Trio album, not his solo stuff) as "new" blues players.

For old blues, particularly acoustic, try Son House, Big Bill Broonzy, Furry Lewis and Mississippi John Hurt.

Rigsby

All listed so far are good choices. I'd like to add :

Roomfull of Blues, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Taj Mahall, Buddy Guy, Ten Years After, Chicken Shack, and early Allman Brothers with Duane Allman on guitar.

BostonB

The Hendrix Blues Album...

The OP is asking for new blues players that he maybe has not heard of before.
