SUMMARY:Lex Grey and The Urban Pioneers

 c “Mix” Deyglio who met at NYC’s legendary Power Station Studios. Vi
 c is a renowned recording engineer who has worked with the Rolling Stones\
 , Lena Horne\, Guns ‘n Roses\, just to name a few. In an effort to make 
 something more stripped-down and organic\, they assembled some friends in 
 the back room of a Brooklyn Bar\, and The Urban Pioneers were born. Their 
 album debut\, Deal Me In was recorded entirely live before an audience and
  fully acoustic. The band has since evolved and expanded to include electr
 ic elements and unusual instrumentations\, embellishing their raw blues-ro
 ck roots with elements of classic rock\, theater and full drums and guitar
 s.Lex Grey quickly rose to the status of cult-rock Diva in the New York Mu
 sic Scene\, headlining regularly at CBGB’s\, Hogs and Heifers\, Lone Sta
 r Roadhouse\, Kenny's Castaways\, Webster Hall\, Wetlands Preserve\, Saint
  Marks Bar\, Mercury Lounge\, and the Knitting Factory among many others.

 of the Grateful Dead\, James Brown and other rock legends. Straight off th
 e stage\, Lex was cast to play Jeannie in the European revival of the rock
  musical Hair\, spending a year touring Holland\, Italy\, Germany and Swit
 zerland.Her love of old blues and jazz brought her into the world of burle
 sque\, where she and her band backed up the dancers of the Coney Island Bu
 rlesque\, the Ixion Burlesque\, and the VaVaVoom Room with naughty\, bawdy
  songs from the teens\, twenties and thirties. This gave birth to the ever
 -popular Down and Dirty Lounge show\, dubbed “Better Than Broadway” by
  NYC’s Metro Press.Fearlessly dancing through genres with their feet pla
