Bill Dobrow LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Bill Dobrow plays live at Roxy Bar on December 23. No fixed band or guest lineup is listed for this date, but his Roxy Bar ensembles draw on jazz improvisation and the craft of making music for singers across an array of styles. The personnel can evolve from show to show, bringing together local and international players, so this is a chance to hear the drummer and bandleader in a setting built for a changing cast rather than a predetermined group.
Dobrow is a New York City based drummer, percussionist and music producer from West Hartford, Connecticut. He is known for work with The Black Crowes, Sean Lennon, Yoko Ono and Norah Jones, with further credits including Martha Wainwright, Lisa Loeb, Jesse Harris, and Joseph Arthur & The New Professionals. He co-produced Harris's Sub Rosa and has played on Brazilian recordings by Maria Gadú and Tiago Iorc. Roxy Bar describes him as an “acclaimed drummer and bandleader”; recent guests in his orbit have included Valerie June, Miho Hatori, Anthony Wilson and Vinicius Cantuaria, alongside musicians Al Street, Clark Gayton and Helio Alves.
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.
