I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede.

LEX GREY

NYC

Lex Grey is a fixture in the New York music scene. Her rock band, The Urban Pioneers, just released their third CD and are a featured act at East Coast blues festivals, where they drive unsuspecting audiences wild with delight. In addition to opening for Dave Mason, Clarence "Gate Mouth" Brown, Rick Danko and the Radiators, they headline regularly at dozens of New York area venues. Lex recently collaborated with slide guitar legend Kerry Kearney in a series of sold-out shows where they presented and invented an untraditional take on traditional blues, entitled "The Lex Grey/Kerry Kearney Experiment." Lex's life does not end with rock and roll . . . . She is an interpreter extraordinaire of jazz and American standards, "the true roots of rock," sez Lex. Her presence also extends to the burlesque stage in the "Va Va Voom Room," where she awes the audience with her four-octave voice and her three dollar "schtick." Inspired by the burlesque revival, she wrote the show a theme song appropriately entitled "Va Va Voom." When Lex landed in Amsterdam to rehearse for her leading role in the European revival of the musical "Hair," she promptly befriended the area's best musicians and launched a tour of Italy, Germany and Holland with a totally original and impromptu R&B band. She also had the honor of being a guest vocalist for "Illuminati," a 30-piece orchestra covering classic rock and songs of the Grateful Dead.
