A slew of performers -ranging from sensitive folkie Jewel to gothic punkers the Misfits will grace area stages begin ning next week. And though many big names are either confirmed or rumored to be arriving with in the next few months, many smaller acts will also appear, including the Florida hardcore group Hot Water Music and saxo phonist Maceo Parker. Some artists will be making return appearances, including Alaskan-raised singer-songwriter Jewel, who will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 8 at Rec Hall. The concert is being presented by the University Concert Committee. Jewel last performed in the area during 4 04 Bud Light svocial of the w og tr • Check out the bar in the back 444 E.

"It will be interesting to see how the audience reacts this time," University Con cert Committee Chair Dana Nale said. "The last time she was here, she said she was just 'a chick with a guitar.' Now she has a whole backup band." Also returning to State College are the Misfits.(Sept. 9) and New York thrash combo Helmet (Sept. 30). Both groups will be performing at Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., which will also host the Colorado based pop band The Samples (Sept. 29) and former James Brown accompanist Maceo Parker (Oct. 27). One of the area's largest venues, howev er, has yet to announce any shows. Although the Bryce Jordan Center hosted a number of big-name acts over the sum mer, nothing has been confirmed for fall.

Bernie Punt, marketing executive for the center, said although a number of artists are preparing to finalize their appearance dates, he doesn't expect an official announcement until mid- to late September. The industry practice of reserving con cert venues can often fuel speculation as to who will be arriving in town next, Punt added. "A lot of the time, a promoter will reserve a number of buildings for use in the future, though they may not even use all of them," he said. "It's like reserving plane tickets for five different cities, knowing you may dhly use one of them." Students have also speculated upon the Wu-Tang Clan/Rage Against the Machine tour. The show, which may never go past the rumor phase, would be one of the few rap-related events to appear in the area.

Brett Houldin, general manager of Crowbar, said the artists currently sched uled to play in the area accurately reflect the students' listening interests. "I think a lot of the college-aged kids tend to lean more towards the rock scene," he said. "Places like Player's (112 W. Col lege Ave.) have a hold on the whole hip-hop audience." Dave Finzimer (senior -sociology), who is co-organizing a hardcore show at 6 p.m. Sept. 4 at the State College Veterans of Foreign Wars building, said students have to look hard to find different genres of music. "Within the DIY realm, there's a pretty good selection of diverse music," he said. "But it's something kids just have to stum ble upon." Independently produced concerts such as the Sept. 4 show which will feature a number of hardcore and punk bands, including Hot Water Music and The Sorts have long been a staple of the State Col lege music scene. However, Finzimer feels the growth of other venues has caused some damage to independent concerts. "It's more convenient for kids to go to Crowbar," he said. "But there are a lot of bands who still play mostly DIY shows, and more people should get out and see them." Nale agreed venues need to try to pre sent a variety of acts, but noted organizers such as the UCC have to weigh the risks involved in booking new or different artists. "Trying to promote and book different acts is something we look at every day," she said. "But at the same time, we have to make sure we don't lose money on a partic ular show or artist." 2:30 - 5:30
