Clinton fundraiser to feature Michael Bolton

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is holding an event next week featuring singer Michael Bolton in its effort to gin up support and raise cash for the Democratic presidential candidate.

{mosads}Clinton’s campaign website shows a fundraiser for the evening of Jan. 12 in Detroit featuring singer Michael Bolton, who is slated to perform for guests who will pay at least $300 to attend.

Those who dish out $1,000 will get “preferred viewing” for the event featuring the Grammy Award-winning musician.

The Detroit News, which first reported the fundraiser, noted that Clinton was last in Michigan for a $2,700-per-ticket fundraiser in July while Bill Clinton headlined a fundraiser in October.

The fundraiser is scheduled to run for two hours, wrapping up shortly before President Obama’s last State of the Union address scheduled for the same night.
