Jeff Buckley’s Former Memphis Home to Become a B&B

The late singer-songwriter’s Midtown cottage Jeff Buckley (Tim’s son) has been remodeled and is about to be listed on a home rental website and possibly sold.

The house should be ready by Thanksgiving, according to its owners. “I want it to be a tribute to him, but not like a hipster’s Graceland,” said real estate agent and concert promoter David Lorrison.

The 1920s home, about 10,000 square feet in size and with two bedrooms, was reportedly purchased for $143,800 (just over €128,000) last March by Goode Development.

“No one in Memphis was paying attention to the house,” added Lorrison, who noted that the 93 N. Rembert home had been vacant for about a year. “But when you look online, people come from all over. They drive miles to take videos of the house and retrace Jeff’s steps in Memphis.”

The home is the latest musical pilgrimage site to be transformed into an Airbnb, after the house where the band’s debut album was also American Football in 1999 is now available for rent. Fans of the Beatles They can also stay in one of the first venues where the band played.

2024 also marks the 30th anniversary of Buckley’s only studio album, “Grace.” The musician, then engaged to Joan As Police Woman, died on May 29, 1997 at the age of 30 after accidentally drowning in the Wolf River in Tennessee.

Additionally, in 2021, it was confirmed that a new official Jeff Buckley biopic is in the works, co-produced by the late singer’s mother. “Everybody Here Wants You” — starring Reeve Carney (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again) as Buckley — has the backing of Buckley’s estate and promises to be “the only official dramatization of Jeff’s story.”
