Lex Grey and the Urban Pioneers were founded by Lex Grey and Vic “Mix” Deyglio who met at NYC’s legendary Power Station Studios. Vic 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 electric elements and unusual instrumentations, embellishing their raw blues-rock roots with elements of classic rock, theater and full drums and guitars.
