Let's get it with 10 Watt Robot

10 Watt Robot is an alternative rock band hailing from Des Moines, Iowa USA. The band is best known for hard-driving live performances featuring their original music. Dynamic yet introspective, their song catalog reflects a number of influences from sweeping melodic power pop to straight ahead punk rock anthems.

10 Watt Robot have worked to build a solid original catalog. New singles in hand, they recorded and released music videos on multiple social media platforms. With a groundswell of followers and subscribers across Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, their self-created content has garnered attention around the world.

The band is now in full swing booking and performing live dates. They are also currently working toward completing a full length LP and releasing corresponding videos.

In the meantime, put 10 Watt Robot on your list of acts “Not to be Missed.”

With a very heavy heart the WCA has made the call to cancel tonight's RiverLoop Rhythms with Jake Nelson Band due to the unfortunate weather circumstances we're experiencing.

We hope to welcome Jake Nelson Music back to the Amphitheatre at another time in the future!

We are so sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused to your weekend.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!!
It wouldn't be summer in Iowa without 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
Get yours and make it FRESH and LOCAL by coming out for Sweet Corn Day at the Market on 8/16.

Stop at the Information Tent where we'll be offering 13 ears of sweet and tender corn, fresh from the field and packed in a reusable shopping tote, for just $7 with proceeds supporting Waterloo Urban Farms Market.

The Waterloo Urban Farmers Market takes place each Saturday morning, May through October from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon at the RiverLoop Expo Plaza. Major support is provided by Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa, Otto Schoitz Foundation, and City of Waterloo, Iowa.
