The State Theatre For The Arts is proud to pres- ent "An Evening with Judy Collins," Friday, Sept. 26. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the show start- ing at 7:30 p.m. Collins has inspired au- diences with sublime vo- cals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs and a firm com- mitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new gen- erations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work, and heed inspira- tion from her spiritual dis- cipline to thrive in the mu- sic industry for half a cen- tury. The award-winning singer-songwriter is es- teemed for her imagina- tive interpretations of tra- ditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant origi- nal compositions. Collins' rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" from her landmark 1967 album, Wildflowers, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Her version of "Send in the Clowns," a ballad written by Stephen Sond- heim for the Broadway musical "A Little Night Music," won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She's garnered several top-ten hits and gold- and platinum-sell- ing albums. Recently, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Arlo Gutherie, Joan Baez, and Leonard Co- hen honored Collins' leg- acy with the album "Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins." Tickets are $35-45 and available at www.statethe- atreredbluff.com, or at Te- hama Country Visitor Cen- ter in Red Bluff.

CONCERT Jazz on the bill at Chico State University on Oct. 25 AssociatedPress NEWARK, N.J. A former star of the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" and his brother filed bogus tax returns on nearly $9 mil- lion and claimed millions in business expenses — in- cluding luxury vehicles and clothing — that were actu- ally for personal use, ac- cording to an indictment released Wednesday. Mike "The Situa- tion" Sorrentino and his brother Marc pleaded not guilty through their attorneys during a brief initial appearance in U.S. District Court. Neither made any statements dur- ing or after the proceeding, though when Mike Sorren- tino was asked outside the courthouse if he was inno- cent he smiled and replied, "Of course." Each brother was re- leased on $250,000 bail and scheduled for arraign- ment on Oct. 6. According to the seven- count indictment, the Sor- rentinos earned about $8.9 million between 2010 and 2012, mostly through two companies they controlled, MPS Entertainment and Situation Nation. They allegedly filed false documents that under- stated the income from the businesses as well as their personal income. Mike Sorrentino also is charged with failing to file taxes for 2011, a year in which he earned nearly $2 million. The brothers also alleg- edly spent millions of dol- lars on personal expenses they claimed were for busi- ness.
