JOAN JETT'S NEW ALBUM is a collaboration with the surviving members of the Seattle band the Gits. (Title: ``Evil Stig.'' Hint: Spell it backwards.) But it's with the Blackhearts, natch, that she returns to Town Point Park tonight at 5. A consistently sharp and in-your-face live act for the past 15 years, Jett probably won't start disappointing concertgoers now. Free. 441-2345.

HENRY ROLLINS' marathon (nearly three hours) 1993 spoken performance at ODU was every bit as riveting, pugnacious and thoughtful as you'd expect from the guy who fronted Black Flag before going on to lead the Rollins Band. He rocked the Boathouse last year, and returns to the venue to lay more talk on us at 9 p.m. tonight. Tickets: $12 advance; to order, call 671-8100.

JAM BANDS, JAM BANDS everywhere. One of the groups that kicked off the trend, Georgia's Widespread Panic, returns to Hampton Roads on its ``ongoing tour.'' The Panic, whose 1994 album ``Ain't Life Grand'' has been called ``relaxed, confident and human,'' is at the Boathouse at 9 p.m. Saturday. Tickets for these co-founders of the HORDE tour are $11.50 advance; to order, call 671-8100.
