You can see punk rock band The Menzingers at the Sherman Theater this Saturday or see The Dishonest Fiddlers and Village Idiots join forces at 1905 Tavern in Scranton. Meanwhile Snapper’s Bar & Grill in Lake Winola celebrates the end of summer with live music all day. Not to mention, both Don’t Panic and Candle in the Dark honor their new rock albums with local shows.
