This was a great duo. The music was excellent! I had a great time. The played for over 1.5 hours and wanted to do an encore, but they already broke the rules by playing so long that they couldn't. It did wear on me after a while, but that's because I get sick of country, even excellent country, after a while. I still enjoyed it enough to stay til the end.
From the listing:

Singer/songwriter/violinist Jenny Scheinman hails from a homestead on the western edge of the continent, but has spent the last decade in Brooklyn. She has collaborated with many influential contemporary American musicians (Bill Frisell, Lucinda Williams, Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux, Rodney Crowell, Nels Cline, Jason Moran, Lou Reed) and has six critically acclaimed solo recordings.
Together the two have developed a rockingly tight & shockingly loose duo featuring selections from their collective songbooks plus stray fiddle tunes and curveball covers.
