    Jeff Buckley was only named as a solo artist because Sony insisted on it.

    He wanted the band to have a name when Grace was released.

    Great band too.

    Gene Bowen: I remember he talked about trying to come up with a name for the band, so that it wouldn’t just be Jeff Buckley.

    Mick Grondahl: I proposed the name Two Ninas and Jeff liked it a lot, and we all liked it. But the record company was against using another name because the Jeff Buckley name was so well known. Jeff liked the idea of a band name and that was the closest we ever came to doing it.
