Robert Janz live in Lowell

Experience Robert Janz live on July 11th

Robert Janz will perform a concert on July 11, 2026, at the Lowell Riverwalk Public Restrooms in Lowell, United States. Janz is a composer and musician known for his ambient and minimalist soundscapes, often incorporating field recordings and extended instrumental techniques – particularly with the guitar. His work frequently explores themes of space, memory, and the subtle textures of the natural world. He has released albums on labels specializing in experimental and drone music.

The Lowell Riverwalk Public Restrooms are a notable feature of the city’s Riverwalk area, originally constructed in the early 1990s as part of a larger revitalization project focused on improving public access to the Merrimack River. Designed by local architects, they gained unexpected attention for their distinctive architectural style—a deliberate attempt to integrate functional infrastructure with aesthetic appeal—and have been recognized with design awards. The restrooms are constructed primarily of brick and glass, offering views of the river while maintaining privacy. They are regularly maintained by the City of Lowell’s Department of Public Works and serve as a public amenity for visitors to the Riverwalk area. The selection of this location for a musical performance is unusual given its primary function.
