Palter Ego features Jesse Palter on Vocals and Sam Barsh on Keys.

Jesse Palter’s blazed a lot of trails in her life. Growing up she performed musical theatre, played piano, trumpet and oboe, and created tracks with legendary musicians Andrew Gold and the Grammy winning Bass Brothers. Establishing herself as a jazz singer, she studied at the University of Michigan School Of Music, won Outstanding Jazz Vocalist at three consecutive Detroit Music Awards, shared the stage with genre legends and headlined at legendary clubs like NYC’s Blue Note.

Honing her chops as a singer-songwriter, she recorded and toured as half of Palter Ego with keyboardist Sam Barsh. All of these musical trails laid the foundation for her emergence as a solo recording artist in her own right with her full-length debut album on Artistry Music (a division of Mack Avenue Music Group), featuring her most vulnerable, brave and brutally honest songs yet. Palter Ego is the brainchild of soulful/jazz-tinged singer-songwriter Jesse Palter and keyboardist/producer Sam Barsh, who join forces to create their own blend of upbeat pop, jazz and soul. 

Palter is a 5x Detroit Music Award Winner who recently released her debut album “Paper Trail” on Mack Avenue Records. Barsh’s work with the likes of Norah Jones, Avishai Cohen, Aloe Blacc and Kendrick Lamar has garnered 3 GRAMMY Awards and reached the top of the Billboard Charts. Together they have headlined major festivals in the US and abroad, and their music has been featured prominently in nationally-aired commercials and television.

William Michael has been coaching people for over 30 years, yet something happened a little over a year ago that opened him up to the Divine, energy beings that exist outside of our normal range of perception, we do not see them or hear them until we discover how to tap into them. This gave William the ability to guide others with their inquires and to facilitate in developing their abilities to connect with non-physical, high vibrational beings.

He feels honored to be able to connect others to their passed loved ones, Guardian Angels, and receive guidance from ascended masters and other multidimensional beings.



"I did, in fact, have an experience over 40 years ago where I heard an invisible voice; I was standing on a bridge, 131 feet up from the ground, about to jump. And the last tearful thought I had as I climbed up onto the ledge was, “If there is anyone that can help me, do it now”, and at that moment poised on the edge I heard a strong and very calm voice, say; “Do not jump, get down off the bridge, then go to the payphone on the corner and call this number xxx number and ask for…Terry O’Brien.

- Now I can imagine that you might be thinking how unusual that was, but at that time I was in such an emotionally messed up place, that after looking briefly around to try to find who spoke to me and I did not see anyone, I just decided to go to the payphone, call the number the voice gave me and ask for that man, who graciously invited me into his home to live with his family and he became my first real mentor.



I now know that it was my guardian angel John who spoke to me on that bridge 40 years ago. I know now with absolute certainty we are never alone!"

Harry Jaffe is a legend among journalists and writers covering the city of Washington, DC — its politics, its crime, its heroes and villains. Beyond Washington, his work has been published in Playboy, Yahoo News, Men’s Health, Harper’s, Esquire and newspapers from the San Francisco Examiner to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He’s appeared in documentary films, TV and radio across the country and Europe.

Jaffe started reporting for the Rutland (VT) Herald in 1974. By 1977 he was a statewide reporting covering politics, nuclear power and the Legislature.

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy asked Jaffe to become his press secretary in 1978. Moving to DC, he helped get Leahy’s message to state and local media while preparing the senator for reelection. He resumed reporting with States News Service, writing about Congress and the federal government for newspapers in the Bay Area in 1980. He learned the craft of long form journalism at Regardies and Washingtonian magazines. Jaffe found his niche covering the local Washington region, honing in on politics, true crime and media. As Washingtonian’s National Editor from 1990 on, he won many awards for investigative feature writing. His expose of toxic waste pits from World War I in DC’s Spring Valley triggered a $300-million ongoing cleanup.

With WRC-TV reporter Tom Sherwood, Jaffe co-authored Dream City: Race, Power and the Decline of Washington, DC, the definitive account of Washington’s emergence as a world class city, with Marion Barry as the main character. The New York Times named it one of the best political books of 1994. Published as an e-book in 2014, Dream City rose to the top of Amazon’s local history list. Universities across the U.S. have adopted Dream City as a text in Urban Studies courses.

Jaffe went on to collaborate with school reformer Michelle Rhee on Radical, her memoir and take on education in America. He followed that by collaborating with former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and Michael Kelly, her astronaut husband, in their book ENOUGH; Our Fight to Keep America Safe from Gun Violence.

As an educator, Jaffe started lecturing at Georgetown University in 1984 and became an assistant professor of media studies at American University. In 1986 he taught journalism and media at the American University in Rome. He’s lectured at the University of Maryland, Towson University, George Washington University and Trinity College.
