You'll be out of luck trying  to use power chords, this style of playing uses more complex chords..with plenty of 7ths, Maj7ths 9ths, diminished etc.,and a power chord isn't technically a "proper" chord,as it doesn't even have 3rd in it.

Love Two Man Gent Band. There's a lot of tenor banjo/guitar going on with them.

Check out the Dirt Daubers stuff for some old standards simplified down to an old timey style. Search youtube as they're recorded catalog isn't very large.
