Keyboards,
guitar and vocals
Reggie began his musical career at age thirteen when he played his first
professional gig in Boston. He joined a local rock band, “Little John and the Nocturnes” when he
was sixteen. After hearing his idol, Jimmy Smith, arguably the best jazz organist in the world, Reg
bought a Hammond B-3. He started the “Ron Regis Trio”, which consisted of B-3 organ,
guitar and drums. He met and fell in love with vocalist, Susan Rene’ who subsequently joined the band. They
played all over the New England area and eventually added more pieces to become the “Ron Regis Revue”. A
most sought after keyboardist, Reggie also played with a lot of other bands in the area . He was asked to join
another popular band in the Boston area called the “Vargas Trio.” Reggie kept quite busy with the
two bands and he and Susan played several general business gigs as well as their club dates. When he and Susan
moved to Florida, they joined the group, “TOPAZ”, which they still have today.
