MUSICAL EVENING

Spend an evening with Jesse Palter at 20 Front Street, Lake Orion. 
Palter released her debut album with Mack Avenue Records, “Paper 
Trail,” available on all digital platforms, and is becoming a noted voice 
in the music industry calling for open discussion on mental health. 
The Detroit native lives in a mix that is equal parts soul singer, pop 
artist and singer-songwriter, bringing a rawness and vulnerability that 
is anything but cookie cutter. Tickets: bit.ly/JP20Front.
