We opened our 2024-2025 season on Friday, October 18, with Jesse Palidofsky and Seth Kibel.
Jesse’s music is quite wonderful. He brings artistry & social concern together in a very powerful way! Author Parker Palmer
Azalea City Recordings artist Jesse Palidofsky has won numerous songwriting awards. His recording “Dancing Toward the Light” reached #5 Album on the International Folk Radio International charts and “I Am An Immigrant” was a #1 single.

His new arrangement of “America the Beautiful” has garnered 72,000 views on Youtube.
Jesse will make you laugh, sigh and lift you up with his heartfelt songs and skilled musicianship. Love the harmonica, keyboards & guitar! Diane
