Matthew Avedon LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Matthew Avedon brings live guitar to Roxy Bar’s Saturday brunch, with a set framed by bebop, swing, and the movement between them. The listing presents him as a New York guitarist whose playing sets the musical course for the afternoon; no accompanying players or guest performers are announced. Expect a jazz-focused performance built around the repertory and rhythmic lift suggested by those styles, rather than a billed tribute, release show, or one-off collaboration.
Avedon is identified as a New York jazz guitarist and composer. His work spans several distinct settings: he has described playing Jazz Manouche, in the style of Django Reinhardt, with Hot Club Time Machine; more modern material with the Matthew Avedon Trio; and New Orleans jazz with Jessy Carolina and The Hot Mess. Those projects place this brunch appearance within a practice that moves between swing-era language, Manouche guitar tradition, contemporary trio work, and New Orleans repertoire. A modeling-agency profile calls his guitar playing “technically beautiful,” while the Roxy Bar listing emphasizes his command of bebop and swing.
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.
