Bio
When I first heard Jeff Buckley, I was stunned by his voice and quickly realized I was listening to musical genius. How can you describe in words the way a person can draw you into their beauty? Ive been inspired by his work ever since I heard Grace for the first time in 1996. It would be an incredible honor to be chosen to pay tribute to Jeffs life and work.
Track 1: Dont Explain
Jeffs cover of Lilac Wine was the reason I submitted this song. Nina Simone was a major influence in both of our lives.
Track 2: So Real
So Real was almost never recorded the drummer backed out at the last minute and we were lucky enough to find a replacement. Everything about it felt right, even though I couldnt believe I was attempting to cover Jeff Buckley! I wanted to feel his presence in the room even more, so I asked the sound engineer if he could put Jeffs voice on the track after the guitar break. The end of the tune is very emotional - I was singing like he was sitting there in the room right in front of me. I really like the way it turned out.
Track 3: Memories
I wrote this song around the same time that Last Goodbye was being recorded and produced. The songs are so similar in subject that I knew I wanted to submit it for this opportunity right away. To this day, I am very proud of this song.
Track 4: Last Goodbye
I love this song and after Jeffs death, I just wanted to say goodbye to him in a way he would appreciate through music.
Track 5: Unthinkable
A producer friend of mine asked me to write something for the soundtrack of the independent film Speak. Jeffs influence on me is evident in this tune by the way I tried to keep it simple while still packing an emotional punch.

What a powerful, personal (and for me & Jeff, necessary) experience it is to perform live.
