Award winning singer/songwriter and member of The Blues Hall of Fame, Lex Grey has been described as "the Madam of modern blues", "a must see singer" and "the rock diva with a 24 karat gold voice". Her band, The Urban Pioneers fuse old school blues with classic rock, a shot of soul, a kick of country and vaudeville vamp. Onstage they explode with energy and passion creating a musical and visual patchwork of texture and soundscape driven by Grey's steamy, jaw dropping delivery. They just released their 8th original album entitled "Begin Again".
Featuring Ted Boburka, Vic Mix, Ed Wasilewski, Brian Dewan, Tim Farrell.
