Hey Everyone:

If you happen to be in Chicago this month, I highly recommend you go to the Jeff Buckley Tribute Event. You'll be able to find more information below. If by chance I don't get to go, let me know how it all went down.

Peace,

Justina

Uncommon Ground JB Tribute

*******************************************
9TH ANNUAL JEFF BUCKLEY TRIBUTE EVENT
UNCOMMON GROUND - CHICAGO
BY CONSTANCE DILLON
*******************************************

The Uncommon Ground coffee house in Chicago will hold their 9th annual Jeff Buckley tribute Wednesday, Nov. 15 and Thursday, Nov, 16. Jeff's solo performance there one snowy February night in 1994 was called "the best concert of the year" by Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot. Artists from all over the world have been similarly inspired Jeff and many have been drawn to this event to share that spark with others.

One of the premier Buckley birthday events, Uncommon Ground's two-night celebration of Jeff and his legacy has the support of Jeff' mother, Mary Guibert. Those performing at the event this year were chosen from musicians who submitted material to the Sonicbids Web site. All proceeds will benefit Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music Scholarship Fund which allows musicians of all ages to attend classes they might not otherwise be able to afford. Nov. 17, 2006, marks the 40th anniversary of Jeff's birth.
