| Tribute, rock
‘Music is my mother and father; it is my work and my rest... my blood... my compass... my love.’ Jeff Buckley
Almost 30 years after his tragic drowning at the age of just 30, Jeff Buckley remains one of rock's most poetic and elusive figures. With a voice capable of lifting an entire room, a guitar style that was both virtuosic and intimate, and lyrics that resembled secret correspondence, Buckley left behind a legacy that belies the brevity of his career. Although he only completed one studio album during his lifetime – the monumental Grace – his covers of other artists' songs have become just as iconic, transforming songs by Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone and Johnny Cash into something unmistakably his own: raw, luminous and deeply personal.
Australian singer Melissa Lesnie and guitarist Vincent Fabert pay a gentle and respectful tribute to this unforgettable ‘dream brother’. They revisit the emotional landscape of Grace, as well as unfinished songs, while retracing the fragile myth of an artist who seemed to shine all the brighter for having disappeared too soon.
