A native New Yorker, Regen first worked as a jazz sideman with Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott after studying under pianist Kenny Barron. He later moved from instrumental jazz recordings into singer-songwriter work, while recording with Andy Summers, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell and Nick Rhodes on Higher Ground. His 2023 album Satisfied Mind featured Ron Carter, Rob Thomas and Pino Palladino; Jazz FM named it Album of the Week, while The Telegraph gave it four stars. The Associated Press praised his “sturdy songs, pleasing tenor and seven-foot grand,” 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.
