That was a very flashy, hyper-bluegrassy version of the old Appalachian tune Old Joe Clark. The true OLD-timers didn't use the mixolydian G chord in the endings; they used the less dramatic standard, but sweeter, E chord. The tune is usually played in the Key of A (the Canadian key of "eh?)". This is probably because the tune is believed to have originated with black musicians, if not the slaves themselves then their immediate descendants. The mixolydian G version may have originated with bluegrass musicians (not to be confused with old-time musicians), who were influenced by the Scots-Irish musical tradition (OJC can played in this mode on the bagpipes, while the original version cannot). The original version is still popular among Appalachian fiddlers and black string-bands, and is usually played in cross-key tuning (AEae, low to high), although the actual pitches can range anywhere from A# down to F. (I've heard one old-timer who played tunes in X-key tuned all the way down to F, (Hiram Stamper), now THAT's an archaic sound!) The renowned black fiddler, Joe Thompson, played it in F (FCfc). Joe was an important influence on the very popular contemporary string band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Old Joe Clark is actually a fiddle-song, since there are lyrics associated with it. The standard E chord cadence is much better suited to the humorous nature of the lyrics: "Old Joe Clark had a big old house, sixteen stories high, Every story in that house was filled with chicken pie". As a fiddler, I'm a big advocate for the original version (ya think?) and I tune my fiddle to A or G cross-key to play it. ALL that said, this gal's playing is impeccable, and thoroughly enjoyable, and VERY Canadian ( as I understand it, Canadians, are required to be able to play a danceable version of Reel de Sainte-Anne in order to get into Kindergarten). OK, now I'm psyched to get my old cross G fiddle and scratch away, as befits a song about chicken pie!
