Awildandswingingholi- day party is planned at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4 at Red Bluff's State Theatre, 333 Oak St., when Big Bad Voo- doo Daddy comes to town. This year marks the 23rd anniversary of Big Bad Voo- doo Daddy's remarkable ar- rival onto the music scene. Since its formation in the early '90s in Ventura the band has toured virtually nonstop, performing on av- erage more than 150 shows a year, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music, with sales of more than 2 million albums to date. Early on, during their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los An- geles, they reminded the world that it was still cool to swing. The band, co- founded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, was at the fore- front of the swing revival of that time, blending a vi- brant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing and dixieland, with the energy and spirit of con- temporary culture. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's all original core line-up in- cludes Morris on lead vo- cals and guitar, drummer Sodergren, Dirk Shumaker on double bass and vo- cals, Andy Rowley on bari- tone saxophone and vocals, Glen "The Kid" Marhevka on trumpet, Karl Hunter on saxophones and clarinet and arranger Joshua Levy on piano. Joining them on the road are Anthony Bon- sera Jr. on trumpet and Alex Henderson on trombone. The band's efforts to pro- mote and revitalize swing music have taken shape as much more than a sim- ple tribute. Taking inspi- ration from the creators of this uniquely American art form, the band's orig- inal horn-infused music and legendary high energy show introduces the genre to a new and younger gener- ation while remaining cog- nizant and respectful of the music's rich legacy. Big Bad Voodoo Dad- dy's first phase of stardom featured an appearance in the 1996 independent film Swingers, a movie that not only launched the careers of Vince Vaughn and Jon Fa- vreau, but introduced Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to an audience beyond their Los Angeles base. The band's music has appeared in countless films and televi- sion shows. The band has performed for three U.S. Presidents. After 23 years, 10 records, more than 2,700 live shows and countless appearances in film and television, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is show- ing no signs of slowing down, and is looking for- ward to celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2017. Tickets are $40-$50 and available at the theater or at http://www.statethe- atreredbluff.com/. CONCERT BigBadVoodooDaddycomingtotheStateTheatre RED BLUFF The Tehama Conservation Fund, a newly formed nonprofit, is a branch of the Resource Conservation District of Te- hama County and is part- nering with the Sacramento River Discovery Center to bring the film festival to Te- hama County for the second consecutive year. The idea this year is to feature a wide breadth of film topics in a short pe- riod of time. A healthy dose of thrill- ing, thought provoking, and downright humorous films are sure to get your adren- alin pumping, heighten your awareness of the nat- ural world and tickle your funny bone. The series of film shorts will take event goers moun- tain biking on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, rafting the Fijian Highlands and climbing the Grand Tetons in the most peculiar fash- ion. Films will highlight questions most people have never asked: How does a field of milkweed plants host a whole world of life? What is to become of the unprotected public land in the Rocky Mountain Front of Montana? In the midst of drought and wildfire, how will California farmers and ranchers survive? Laced with laughter and fun, the evening balances the serious films with the light-hearted. Craft beer, lo- cal wine, concessions, raf- fle and an intermission to explore information booths will be included. Enjoy the Store in Red Bluff will host a community pre-event social 5-6:30 p.m. The State Theatre doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the film starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the State Theatre the night of and in advance at the Te- hama Country Visitor Cen- ter, the Resource Concer- vation District, the Sac- ramento River Discovery Center and online at www. wildandscenicredbluff.wee- bly.com. The festival is a benefit for the Tehama Conserva- tion Fund and support from generous local event spon- sors helps to keep ticket prices at $12 general admis- sion and $10 for students. The Tehama County Arts Council is one such sponsor. The fund received grant funds via the Te- hama County Arts Council, the California Arts Council and the One Million Plates for the Arts Project to help bring the festival to Red Bluff.

STAND-UP Comedy shows set for November December's Open Stu- dio Tehama County art- ist tour will include oil painter Frances Cabaini Gonzales Becker of Na- tive American, Basque and Spanish parentage. Becker first became an active artist in South- ern California working in ceramics while liv- ing in Idyllwilde, where she studied Black pot- tery from Maria and Ju- lian Martinez, potters of the San Ildefonso Pueblo. Moving to the high desert Becker be- came a student of Larry Aikin, where she was in- fluenced in Raku and wheel throwing pottery. "God called me and my family to humanitarian work for over a decade," Becker said. "Traveling world-wide and being ex- posed to many cultures, exotic places and loving families, I found pottery alone was not enough. I began to share my expe- riences and innovative ideas through my vari- ous art interests." Photography, ceramics, mosaics, watercolor paint- ing along with pottery be- came a source of inspira- tion, meditation and heal- ing for Becker. For the past few years Becker has found painting in Oil captures freedom she seeks to ex- press herself in nature. Art has been an all en- compassing part of Beck- er's life from early child- hood. "It is what stirs my soul and what I wish to convey to others" Becker says. "I see myself as 'Chica,' the name my family calls me meaning 'little girl,' color- ing with crayons while al- lowing God to supply the glowing, realistic, bril- liance of color. Drawing is without question the most natural form of ex- pression and one that uses skills we all have from birth. Hand cray- ons to children."
