If you’re a folk fan, punk fan or like a bit of both, you’ll find plenty to bop your head to this first weekend in March. At Wildwood in Iowa City, a full roster pays tribute to the late Americana master Todd Snider. In Cedar Falls, the Loft is holding an Iowa Horror Punk Night. The macabre lineup includes Grave Corps, Dead Don’t Die, Switchblade Saturdays and Next to Midnight. And in Des Moines, Locals is holding the second edition of Femme Fest 515. The festival, in honor of Woman’s History Month, celebrates “femme bands from all over the Midwest.”
