You might like some of the output of Elysian Fields (Jennifer Charles, Oren Bloedow). Maybe in particular their earlier stuff, like their Bleed Your Cedar (1996) album:

They've made many a fantastic albums though, worth checking out.

I saw them several times live in the early-mid aughts. They’re great!

Never managed to catch them playing live, so I'm well jealous!

The benefit of living in NYC (I recently moved after living there for nearly 25 years)! I remember one show where they didn’t have a full band and Oren played drums and guitar at the same time. The space in their music allows for that sort of thing, but it still was pretty cool to see.

I liked them a lot before I read this. Now I like them even more (:

I remember getting their newsletter where they would regularly announce live shows in NYC. It's nice having live music on tap like that.
