19th Annual Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert

This past November, I was fortunate enough to once again be asked to perform at the 19th Annual Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert held at Uncommon Ground in Chicago, IL.  This year would have marked Jeff's 50th birthday and his mother Mary Guibert made a special effort to fly out the show!  Fellow Ann Arbor artist Mike Vial and I shared the adventure together and we had a wonderful time meeting all the incredibly talented artists paying tribute & making new memories. : )

Here is a video of my set:

1:03 Mojo Pin
7:59 Last Goodbye
15:34 I Want Someone Badly

 

Excited to be here in #chicago getting ready to play the 19th Annual Jeff Buckley Tribute show at @uncommongrd on the day before what would have been Jeff's 50th birthday! #jeffbuckley

Such a wonderful experience playing at the 19th Annual Jeff Buckley Tribute @uncommongrd We were lucky enough to be in the company of Jeff's Mom, Mary Guibert, who regaled us with a beautiful story about how Jeff use to bring a comb with him everywhere, not to brush his hair, but to turn into a kazoo with a cigarette cellophane wrapper & then proceed to cheer people up with his kazoo stylings. In a synchronous twist of fate, I had brought my kazoo and had planned to play it as a sax for my cover of "I Want Someone Badly". Best kazoo audience I have ever had. : ) Thank you to everyone that made it such a memorable evening. #jeffbuckley #chicago #kazoo #maryguibert
