Taxiride co-founder Jason Singh will perform in full the Jeff Buckley album ‘Grace’ to mark the 30th anniversary of the release of the album later this year.

Jason revealed in a socials post, “Then, one of the most ambitious shows I’ve ever attempted, paying tribute to, in my opinion one of the most important album of our generation on its 30th anniversary.

“Jason Singh Re-Imaginates Jeff Buckley Grace, playing this masterpiece from start to finish in some of the most iconic venues in our great land, this show will truly be a massive challenge for me, but I’m up for it.”

Jeff Buckley released ‘Grace’ on 23 August, 1994. Jason will perform the album on 23 August, 2024 at Memo Music Hall, Melbourne, exactly 30 yeqrs to the day after the album was released.

‘Grace’ was Jeff Buckley’s only album in his lifetime. Jeff passed away on 29 May, 1997, before a second album was released. In 1998, the album ‘Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk’ as released for the first anniversary of his death. The songs were recorded with Tom Verlaine across 1996 and 1997 but Buckley was not happy with the results. He had scraped the album and gone to Memphis to start a new record when he drowned while swimming in the Mississippi River.

‘Grace’ was considered one of the great albums of the year. It had its highest peak in Australia at no 9 and reached no. 31 in the UK but failed to grab much attention in the USA, stalling at no. 149.

Jeff toured Australia in 1995 and 1996 performing 22 times over the two tours.
