Jon Regen LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Jon Regen brings a live performance to Roxy Bar, the Tribeca room where the evening pairs his music with cocktails and oysters. The listing bills Regen as a singer, songwriter and pianist, but does not specify whether this particular Sunday appearance is solo or with a band. It is part of his regular Sunday and Monday engagement at the bar.
A New York native and protégé of pianist Kenny Barron, Regen first worked as a sideman with Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott, made instrumental jazz records, then moved into singer-songwriter work. His instrumental album Change Your Mind reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. He has recorded with Andy Summers, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell and Nick Rhodes, while 2023's Satisfied Mind features Ron Carter, Rob Thomas and Pino Palladino. The Associated Press called his songs, tenor and piano “a captivating combination”; the Wall Street Journal termed him “a confident, soulful singer,” and DownBeat wrote that his music “shoots from and directly into the heart.”
Roxy Bar offers a stylish setting where live jazz fills the air, accompanied by a menu that caters to diverse tastes including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The room features plush seating and a well-stocked bar, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy performances by resident musicians or special guests. Shows typically run in the evening with sets from 6pm to 10pm, followed by DJs spinning vinyl late into the night. Weekend brunches also feature live music, blending dining and entertainment seamlessly. The venue balances attentive service with a relaxed vibe, making it a place to savor both cocktails and music without distraction. Its location in Tribeca adds a downtown charm, inviting guests to linger over oysters or a crafted cocktail while soaking in the sounds.
