Pittsburgh, PA native Barbara Blue doesn’t remember life without music. Her answer to the question “When did you start singing?” will always be “since the day I was born and my plan is to exit this life the same way”.  Early childhood years were spent singing in church choir, school choir, school band (flute), piano lessons, school plays and with radios throughout the house.

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.

As a child Dyers’ father, also a musician, turned him on to the music of the 60’s and 70’s. The artists that spoke to him the most were the blues-based rockers, especially the early Jeff Beck records featuring Rod Stewart. This instilled in him the importance of the blues as the key foundation of the music he was drawn to.
