Exemplary live quarantine music performances

What have been your favorite online quarantine performances and how are finding them? I've enjoyed John Doe on Facebook (which includes a cover of 'Here Comes A Regular' about 45 minutes in) and Rhett Miller on StageIt. I'm mostly interested in rock, country, soul and blues, but please post anything you think is a great performance.
I really enjoyed the short, friendly Tony Trischka concert from the Freight & Salvage.

Josh Kantor’s 7th Inning Stretch has been a near daily ray of sunlight and a balm for my troubled soul.

In an entirely different genre, Sofi Tukker are doing half hour DJ sets on instagram live / facebook / twitch every day at the same time since quarantine started. Up to 100 or so by now. Sometime they have a theme like retro dance party or sex songs (day 69, naturally). But they always have costumes and banter and genuinely seem happy to be doing it.

Sarah Jarosz - Childish Things (Live From Home) (YouTube; music starts at 1:14 or so). She does a fantastic job on a terrific James McMurtry song.

Also, typing 'live from home' into YT's search popped a surprising number of selections in addition to Chris Thile-adjacent performances, including this from Norah Jones. I haven't watched it, but hear that she's an excellent at-home performer. Or maybe you'd like Elbow (#elbowrooms)?
