Additional inn bard songs?

PC SSE - Request

This seems like a huge missed opportunity in vanilla, although of course there are limitations. Are there any mods that add actual quality performances to the bards in local inns?

There was an amazing teaser for this with an NPC mod (Immersive NPCs, I believe) where a Redguard student of the Bard’s College hangs out in The Winking Skeever, and you spark up a conversation. She came from Hammerfell with her husband who later abandoned her. She’s not confident in her musical ability, but you can convince her to play her own composition for you and… it’s utterly breathtaking. Such a beautiful song that fits perfectly in the world of Skyrim. I’ve been chasing that high ever since. You get some from follower NPCs (like Auri our cannibal angel), Lucian, and others.

Are there any mods that add GOOD performances to the bards of Skyrim? This could make the inn experience 1000% even more cozy and nourishing than it already is. I imagine different songs being played at different inns and locations, with starkly different vibes. Sad and ominous at Morthal, patriotic but ancient in Solitude, mysterious and forlorn in Falkreath, sleazy and charming in Riften, etc.
