Jon Regen LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Jon Regen plays Roxy Bar on this Sunday evening, performing the solo piano format the venue uses for his Sunday and Monday appearances. The singer, songwriter and pianist is the night’s featured live musician, accompanying cocktails and oysters in Tribeca. No guests or additional players are listed for this date, so expect Regen alone at the piano rather than the quartet billed on certain Thursdays.
New York-based Regen began as a jazz sideman for Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott, after studying as a protégé of Kenny Barron, before moving from acclaimed instrumental jazz records into singer-songwriter work. His collaborations include Andy Summers, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell and Nick Rhodes; 2023’s Satisfied Mind features 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 piano “a captivating combination”; the Wall Street Journal heard “a confident, soulful singer,” while 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.
