FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post will continue its Spring 2011 season with the new series "ROCK TALK," featuring intimate conversations with acclaimed musicians. The series will launch on Monday, April 4 at 10:00 PM with WABC TV's "Eyewitness News" anchor PHIL LIPOF sitting down with pop and Broadway star Justin Guarini to discuss his journey from "American Idol" to his concert and touring success and now, his acclaimed theater career.

The show takes place at the Loews Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).

"ROCK TALK" is sponsored by Gibson Guitars and is the first of four Spring evenings with hot musicians sharing music and stories with Mr. Lipof. Upcoming shows include JOE HURLEY of Rogue's March on April 25 and singer/songwriter CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES on June 13.

Justin Guarini - a Philadelphia native and "American Idol" season one runner up - is currently starring on Broadway in Green Day's Musical American Idiot. This comes on the heels of his Broadway debut in Lincoln Center Theatre's Women On The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown opposite Patti LuPone and Brian Stokes Mitchell. Justin is one of TV Guide Network's resident hosts. In addition to seeing him on the red carpet for TV Guide during Award Season covering The Oscars, The Grammys, The Emmys and more, Justin also hosts their movie premiere and junket specials.

Since starring on "American Idol," Guarini participated in the national Idols Live! tour performing for sold out audiences across the country and continues to tour nationally performing all over the U.S. and abroad. Justin completed two studio albums including Justin Guarini produced by RCA Records and Clive Davis, and Stranger Things Have Happened, and is currently working on his third album. He also starred in the films From Justin to Kelly with Kelly Clarkson and Fast Girl with Mircea Monroe and Caroline Rhea. He has also appeared on the Fox Television comedy "Run of The House" and AMC's "Film Fakers," season three of CMT's highest-rated original series "Gone Country," alongside legendary artists such as Sheila E. and George Clinton.
