It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley on Aug 18 at 7 PM

Picture
A brand-new documentary arriving August 8, 2025, offers a captivating portrait of Jeff Buckley — the gifted singer-songwriter who tragically passed away in 1997 after releasing just one extraordinary album. Directed by Amy Berg, the 1-hour 46-minute film blends never-before-seen footage, exclusive voice messages, and intimate accounts from Buckley’s inner circle to explore the life and legacy of a truly singular artist.
 
Jeff Buckley defied genres, blending folk, rock, blues, and jazz into a sound uniquely his own. His poetic lyrics often reflected themes of love, longing, and transcendence, delivered through a voice that could shift effortlessly from a tender whisper to an aching wail. His unpredictable melodies and emotional intensity left an indelible mark on listeners and fellow musicians alike.
 
This documentary, categorized as a biography and music film, is not yet rated.
