A New York-area musician, Regen began as a sideman for jazz artists Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott, after studying as a protégé of pianist Kenny Barron. He moved from acclaimed instrumental jazz recordings into singer-songwriter work, spanning jazz, pop, rock, soul and blues. His recordings have included Andy Summers, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell and Nick Rhodes on Higher Ground, while Satisfied Mind featured Ron Carter, Rob Thomas and Pino Palladino. His instrumental album Change Your Mind reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The Associated Press called his “sturdy songs, pleasing tenor and seven-foot grand” a “captivating combination,” 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.

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.
