Natalie Raben & Katie Archer

Lower East Side Business Improvement District
Katie Archer and Natalie Raben are the Romy and Michelle of pickle planning parties on the Lower East Side. They have been an LES dream team for quite some time, creating and producing one creative neighborhood event after another. In addition to Pickle Day, they also throw warm-weather events in the ‘hood such as LES Opening Night: Art + Fashion and DayLife, which is a not necessarily pickle-themed food fest on Orchard Street. And get this: these are their day jobs, imagine that! Katie and Natalie work for the Lower East Side Business Improvement District, a not-for-profit organization responsible for marketing and economic development in the LES. They are thrilled to be joined by Moscow 57 for Pickle Day on October 19th from 12-5pm.

Cleve Douglass

Improvisational jazz vocalist Cleve Douglass began his vocal training in classical (operatic) vocal technique, then studied and worked in musical theatre, which eventually led him to his passion: jazz and scat improvisations. His multi-cultural recordings embrace the styles of Bossa Nova, swing, Afro-Cuban, electronic, and standards from The Great American Songbook. After extensively touring and performing in Japan, Cleve brings an air of sophistication and retro-nouveau sensibility to a number of bands in New York City, appearing on dates at the Blue Note and NBC’s “The Today Show.”

Richard Stein

Richard Stein has built his remarkable career on a single tenet: that hair should be free to go its own way. Free to swing straight or curl close, free from curlers and clips, sprays and gels. Free to be as nature intended. It is a credo learned at the hand of his mentor, Sixties icon Vidal Sassoon, and it has garnered for Richard Stein a clientele of the world’s most powerful people.
