The Moscow 57 Arsenal of Entertainment
The Moscow 57 Arsenal of Entertainment

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 -- Moscow 57, the recently opened Russian Central Asian restaurant with live music, located at 168½ Delancey Street in Manhattan features a mix of live blues, folk, world music and jazz nightly. Partners Ellen Kaye, Ethan Fein and Seth Goldman have announced the restaurant’s line up of regular musical performers. Other musical artists will appear throughout the week.

For the past two years, the company has been hosting its M57 Urban Salons, evenings of music, food and digital visual art displays, in Harlem, Washington Heights, Chelsea, the Upper East Side, the East Village, Governors Island, Connecticut and New Orleans. Moscow 57 has made New Orleans a home away from home, with regular forays into that city's world-renowned culture of Southern hospitality, regional cuisine, and world-class entertainment. After performing at and co-producing events with New York's Corcho Wine Room, as well as celebrating Latin American culture in New Orleans, this cosmopolitan attitude is being brought to Moscow 57’s permanent home on New York City’s Lower East Side every night.

The entertainment schedule includes: Tony Romano and Cleve Douglass, just back from a tour of Russia, and vocalist Cici James playing every Wednesday night; singer-songwriter Laura Foulke on Thursday nights; jazz vocalist Mary Foster Conklin and jazz saxophonist Andrew Rodriguez on Friday nights; jazz saxophonist Jordan Pettay on Friday and Saturday nights; and finally, emerging artist Hayley Biegel on Sunday nights. Each night, Ellen Kaye will be hosting and performing with the M57 Band: Ethan Fein, musical director and arranger, on guitar and banjo, Benjamin Franklin Brown on bass and Giomar Cepeda on drums.

Moscow 57 can be reached at (212) 260-5775 and at the company’s website.

BIOGRAPHIES:
Hayley Biegel: Emerging Artist
Hayley has been studying vocal performance at New York University for the past three years, but has been singing and playing piano her entire life. She has performed in venues around the city and in the Westchester area and is featured in two upcoming musicals. Hayley writes her own songs when the mood strikes, and she hopes to record more original material in the near future. As she continues to be trained with a concentration in musical theater, she is also exploring different genres and enjoys performing everything from opera to jazz to popular music.

Mary Foster Conklin: Vocalist
Her voice is smoky with a tart twist of lemon. Her style has been described as recognizably traditional yet unmistakably contemporary, as she puts her personal stamp on a repertoire that spans over nine decades. She has appeared in theaters, jazz clubs and cabarets in the metropolitan New York area and throughout the United States and Canada. In New York, Conklin's talents have earned her a place on the stages of The Blue Note, The Iridium Jazz Club, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, The Metropolitan Room and the Triad Theatre. She can also be seen from time to time singing off various fire escapes as The Lady in the Red Dress with the notorious Renegade Cabaret. Visit Mary's website at http://www.maryfosterconklin.com for more info.

Laura Foulke: Singer/Songwriter
Laura Foulke wrote, directed and produced her first show at the age of six and has been chewing the scenery ever since. A singer/songwriter living on the Lower East Side, Laura has appeared in a wide variety of New York theaters and musical venues, including the Rodeo Bar, the Mercury Lounge, Arlene's Grocery, the Angel Orensanz Foundation, the Ludlow Cafe', and Windows on the World.

Cleve Douglass: Vocalist
Improvisational jazz vocalist Cleve Douglass began his vocal training in classical (operatic) vocal technique, then studied and worked in musical theater, 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."

Cici James: Vocalist/Writer/Producer/Science Fiction Bookstore Owner & EPublisher
Cici has been a part of the M57 Crew for over a year now – you can hear on our podcasts and on our upcoming M57 On-Air Urban Salon CD. They call her "torch siren," "dance diva," "punk princess," or even "dixie queen". Cici’s headlined venues highbrow and low, from Lincoln Center to the dirtiest dive, and loved every second. Perennial front woman, occasional lyricist, and long-time member of the infamous Loser's Lounge, she likes to keep herself busy with projects like Steely Dance and a collaboration with EDM upstart Prince Fox. When she's not making music, Cici makes books. A co-founder of Singularity&Co, NYC's only bookstore dedicated to vintage science fiction and fantasy, she and the S&Co team also run an indie publisher devoted to republishing forgotten sci-fi stories for the future they helped us imagine - but only with permission from the authors or their estates.
