Photo Flash: The Midnight Pine, Veronica May and More at The Old Globe's Jeff Buckley Tribute

The Old Globe presented a one-night-only Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert on August 19, and BroadwayWorld has photos of the musicians onstage below! The concert, which featured several prominent local artists covering the songs of the legendary musician, coincides with the Globe's upcoming production of The Last Goodbye, a fusion of Buckley's music with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert, benefitting the Globe's student Shakespeare programs, took place in the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre.

Musical artists who performed at the Jeff Buckley Tribute Concert included The Midnight Pine, Steve Harris, Jeff Berkley, Israel Maldonado and Fernando Apodaca with Todd Hannigan, Veronica May, Eve Selis, Gayle Skidmore, Superunloader and Pete Thurston. The Midnight Pine, Jeff Berkley and Gayle Skidmore are all currently nominated for 2013 San Diego Music Awards, as are Stevie Harris' band The Styletones and Veronica Mays' band The Lovebirds. The concert was emceed by Cathryn Beeks, host of KPRi-FM's "The Homegrown Hour," and Chris Cantore, U-T San Diego's Director of Lifestyle & Entertainment.

Jeff Buckley was born in Orange County, California on November 17, 1966 and died in Memphis on May 29, 1997. He had emerged in New York City's avant-garde club scene in the 1990s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics and fellow musicians alike. His one and only full-length, full-band studio album, Grace, released in 1994, includes his haunting cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Buckley and his band spent the following two years touring the world in support of the album, and though he was largely ignored by U.S. audiences, who were fully involved in the grunge movement, his sensitive and soaring vocals, virtuoso guitar and gripping performance style were critically acclaimed throughout Europe, the U.K. and Australia. He was awarded France's prestigious Grand Prix International du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros in 1995, as well as platinum record plaques from France, the U.K. and Australia. In May of 1997 in Memphis, on the verge of recording his second studio album, Buckley perished in an accidental drowning while taking a late-night swim in the Wolf River Marina. The songs he had been working on were posthumously released as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk in 1998, which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Today, Grace is ranked among the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, and Buckley's recording of "Hallelujah" was voted number one among the top 100 vocal performances of all time by Mojo magazine (U.K.).

The Last Goodbye is a musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet featuring the incendiary songs of Jeff Buckley. That light in yonder window is still the east and Juliet is still the sun. . . but the sound in her bedchamber is all new: the sweeping, emotional and extraordinarily beautiful songs of the late rock icon. This unique work of theater is a remarkable fusion of the classic and the modern, melding Shakespeare's tragedy, in its original text and period, with some of the most passionate rock music of the past 20 years, staged with limitless invention by Alex Timbers, one of the true stage visionaries at work today.

Conceived and adapted by Michael Kimmel, The Last Goodbye is directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson). Choreography is by Sonya Tayeh ("So You Think You Can Dance"), and orchestrations, music direction and arrangements are by Kris Kukul.
