The Lao Tizer Band live in Waterbury

Experience The Lao Tizer Band live on August 1st

The Lao Tizer Band is scheduled to perform at Library Park in Waterbury, Connecticut on August 1st, 2026. The band performs a distinctive style often described as “modern jazz” or “world fusion,” blending elements of jazz improvisation with influences from diverse cultures including Asian, Mediterranean, and Latin American traditions. Their compositions frequently feature complex arrangements and virtuosic instrumental work, incorporating instruments not typically associated with traditional jazz ensembles. The group has released multiple albums receiving recognition within the contemporary jazz scene.

Library Park itself is a central green space located in downtown Waterbury. Established in 1878, it originally served as the site of the city’s public library – hence the name – before the library relocated in 1902. The park underwent significant renovations in the early 2000s, enhancing its landscaping and adding performance facilities. It is now a frequent venue for community events, concerts, and festivals throughout the year, functioning as a focal point for civic life and recreation within Waterbury. The park is maintained by the City of Waterbury Parks and Recreation Department.
