As tour delays, album postponements and festival cancellations become a near-daily occurrence, artists big and small are forced to come up with new and creative ways to connect with fans during the coronavirus pandemic.Miley Cyrus started a daily Instagram talk show called "Bright Minded," where she swaps self-quarantine tips with celebrities including Demi Lovato, Reese Witherspoon and Amy Schumer. In lieu of concerts and interviews, Dua Lipa celebrated the release of album "Future Nostalgia" last week by doing a virtual performance of her hit "Don't Stop Now," with her band and backup dancers all videoconferencing in on Zoom. Elton John used his sons' keyboard for sweet 'Living Room Concert for America' performanceThen there are at-home concerts, in which artists take to social media to play shows – short and long, regular and occasional, a cappella and with instruments – often to benefit charities supporting coronavirus relief. Here are some of our favorites, definitively ranked. 10.

JoJoThe singer/actress, who's set to release new album "Good to Know" May 1, delivered a flawless three-song set from her cozy, candle-lit bedroom, including her catchy 2006 hit "Too Little Too Late." In a later video, she performed a reworked, a cappella version of her song "Leave (Get Out)," cheekily flipping the lyrics to a coronavirus-themed "Chill (Stay In)." “So you’re gon’ learn how / to cook now / and practice good hygiene,” she sings, snapping her fingers and pounding a dining room table. “I know you’re bored and want to (expletive) around, but not on me.”6. Dave MatthewsFor many people, especially Southerners such as myself, going to an outdoor Dave Matthews Band concert was the highlight of every summer. So getting to watch Matthews, albeit indoors, felt like a little slice of home. Performing from a dimly lit home studio as part of a Verizon-sponsored Twitter live stream, the affable rocker played DMB favorites including "Don
