Jon Regen LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Jon Regen brings a live set to Roxy Bar in Tribeca, with the venue billing the New York singer, songwriter and pianist for an evening alongside its cocktails and oysters. The listing does not name any accompanying performers, so expect Regen under his own name, drawing on the piano-and-voice songwriting work for which he is known.
Born in New York and raised in Maplewood, New Jersey, Regen began as a jazz sideman with Kyle Eastwood and Little Jimmy Scott before moving into singer-songwriter music. A protégé of Kenny Barron, he has recorded with Andy Summers, Benmont Tench, Chuck Leavell and Nick Rhodes, while his 2023 album 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 songs, tenor and piano “a captivating combination”; The Wall Street Journal described him as “a confident, soulful singer,” 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. 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.
