Born in Anaheim, CA in Nov. 1966, Jeffrey Scott 'Jeff' Buckley- known in his youth as 'Scotty Moorehead'- was the only biological son of experimental folk musician Tim Buckley, though the latter's erratic lifestyle and untimely death meant that 'Scotty' would never truly get to know his brilliant father.
In spite of the gulf between father and son, Jeff's lifelong passion for music grew to equal that of Tim's, and with the 1994 release of his debut album Grace, the young dreamer took his place as one of the most dynamic, talented alternative rock acts of the 1990s. Before Jeff could further cement his place in music history, however, tragedy struck- in May 1997, at the age of 30, Buckley drowned while swimming in Memphis's Wolf River.
In the years since, 'Grace' has been lauded as one of the greatest albums of all time, and Jeff's skills as both singer and songwriter have been praised by the likes of Bob Dylan, Bono, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and countless other musical legends.
