Bill Dobrow LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Bill Dobrow headlines this Roxy Bar date with a live set led by the drummer, percussionist and music producer. The listing does not name the musicians joining him, and Dobrow’s Roxy ensembles are not fixed: their personnel evolves, drawing on players from New York and abroad. The music at these engagements brings together jazz improvisation and his work crafting music for singers across a range of styles, so this is a bandleader’s night rather than a billed solo appearance.
Dobrow is from West Hartford, Connecticut, and lives in New York City. He is known as an acclaimed drummer and bandleader, with work alongside the Black Crowes, Sean Lennon, Yoko Ono and Norah Jones. His touring and recording credits also include Martha Wainwright, Lisa Loeb, Jesse Harris, and Joseph Arthur & The New Professionals. That combination of collaborators reflects the range behind his Roxy projects: improvising musicianship alongside an ear for supporting songs and singers. No independent review is provided for this performance or his work; Roxy Bar describes his ensembles as “world class.”
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.
