About Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley, born Jeffrey Scott Buckley, was an American singer-songwriter who left an indelible mark on the music world despite his tragically brief career. Raised by his mother in Anaheim, California, Buckley began his musical journey as a session guitarist in Los Angeles before gaining a devoted following in the early 1990s at venues in East Village, Manhattan. His sole studio album, "Grace," released in 1994, is a testament to his extraordinary vocal range and emotional depth, featuring iconic tracks like "Hallelujah" and "Lover, You Should've Come Over." Buckley's powerful and versatile voice could effortlessly transition from a blues growl to a soaring soprano, captivating audiences with his unique blend of influences, from Led Zeppelin to classical music. Tragically, Buckley died young, drowning in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1997, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and resonate with fans worldwide. His father, Tim Buckley, was also a renowned musician, adding another layer of musical heritage to Jeff's story.
