Bobby Stewart and Joe Pirro met in 1980 at an open mike night in Dallas Texas. They had both come to a Lower Greenville club called The Saloon (now called the Dubliner). Bob and Joe's solo sets that night each included several Neil Young songs. The memory is cloudy enough that no one is quite sure who took the stage first. What is known is that on this magical evening they made an immediate and life long musical connection. Something clicked. Two guitar players from different parts of the country, with backgrounds as different as night and day, found each other among the beer and smoke of a Texas barroom.
The common ground they discovered was based on similar musical influences. Their guitar and vocals dovetailed from day one like it was a predetermined destiny. Over the next 8 years, Bobby & Joe grew together musically in various groups and combinations. Whether performing as an acoustic duo or as the core of The Stewart-Pirro Band, they shared a passion for the music they were creating. Countless hours of playing side by side resulted in an almost telepathic communication between the two guitarists. They developed associations with bands like Reigning Roses, Silent Partners, and musicians like Tony Lane, Jon Mastin, Rick Yost, Pete Neds, Tim Holiday, and Michael J. Martin. Eventually Bobby & Joe hooked up with legendary Dallas drummer Terry Crofford, and bass players Greg Printz & Daniel Palisee. Sometimes as an acoustic duo, or in their various bands (The Unemployed, The Rockafellas, and The Stewart-Pirro Band) Bobby & Joe played the local club circuit.
In 1988 Joe moved to New York ending the pair's 8 year run. In Dallas, Bobby continued working as a singer/song writer, and dabbled in a country band. In New York, Joe played occasionally in a Saratoga based band called The Lake Effect. Joe returned to Dallas in 1993. A chance meeting with an old friend, singer/songwriter Rick Yost at the 2001 Wildflower Festival was the catalyst that brought Bobby & Joe back together for the first time in 13 years. They jammed together over Memorial Day Weekend. Neither knew what to expect. A magical thing happened. Everything they developed 13 years earlier was still there. The bonus was that they were better musicians now than when they parted. Whatever clicked that night in 1980 clicked again in 2001.
So now they knew they could still do it, but what were they going to do with it' They met at an open mic night 21 years before, so doing what made sense, they headed out to Mark McCulloch's Wednesday Open Mic at The Winedale Tavern. They quickly made quite an impression. Mark started booking them the last Saturday of every month at The Winedale. Drummer Kirk Sonnenberg relocated to Chicago. Dominic Black (formerly with The Weeds and Dirty Sanchez) filled in a couple of times and clicked immediately. He quickly parted with his then current band to join Gray & In The Way permanently.
After being constantly asked what the name of the band was, the guys tried The Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for a while but it didn't stick. The name evolved into Gray & In The Way (a play on the name of an old Jerry Garcia bluegrass band called Old & In The Way). Bobby & Joe became a fixture at The Winedale's open mic night, using the weekly set as practice to try out new material, and refine older songs. Dirty Sanchez was another regular band at the Winedale. They had a charismatic drummer named Dominic Black. Dominic had a striking look as well as a striking drumming style. He was drawn to the music Bobby & Joe played. Dominic sat in a couple of times with the band and in short order became a regular member of Gray & In The Way.
The band plays primarily in the Dallas, Texas area. Rooted in the music of Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead and Eric Clapton, an evening with Gray & In The Way rings with all of those influences. Bobby is a prolific song writer and each night's performance includes original material with obvious heredity. Their fans span all ages and have one thing in common, the appreciation of quality music that has, sadly, become increasingly rare today.
