Jon Regen is billed live at Roxy Bar for this New York date. The available listing names Regen but does not specify whether he will appear solo or with a band, and it gives no further details about the evening’s repertoire, guests, release, or special theme. Expect a set led by a singer, songwriter, and pianist whose work moves between jazz and songcraft.
A native New Yorker, Regen began as a jazz sideman, working with Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott, and was mentored by pianist Kenny Barron. His recordings have included contributions from Andy Summers, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell, and Nick Rhodes. His 2023 album Satisfied Mind featured Ron Carter, Rob Thomas, and Pino Palladino, while Roxy Bar says his instrumental album Change Your Mind reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The Associated Press called his “pleasing tenor and seven-foot grand” a “captivating combination”; the Wall Street Journal described him as “a confident, soulful singer.” DownBeat wrote that his music “shoots from, and directly into, the heart,” and Bruce Hornsby praised his “virtuosic playing ability, soulful singing, and a strong songwriting talent.”
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.
