**************************
Tapers notes: Great show as always from Josie, she threw in a couple new songs to her setlist, her version of "The Best" is really great. I'm not much of a fan of the original or Tina Turner's, but Josie's version is really sublime. We found out a couple weeks before this show that Josie is expecting baby #3 sometime in early 2024, so it was great to see her and pass along our congratulations.

Tapers notes: Album release show for Skarlett's new album "Letters to the West". The new album is available at her website listed above, I highly recommend it, it's one of my favorite albums of 2023. The first half of Track 1 is audience only as it was off mic, but after that it's all SBD/AUD mix.

**************************
Tapers notes: I had hoped to get a SBD feed of this show, but when I got there I was told there were no spots left to plug in as this was being recorded by a local media company. As of now, I haven't seen the video of this show pop up anywhere, but it should at some point as the other shows they recorded have been uploaded to YouTube. This is a pretty good recording, it was windy this night, but it's really only noticeable in between songs. This was the last show of the Silver Bay concert in the park series for 2023.
