Jeff Sallee’s love of country music began as a very young boy. At the age of six, Jeff befriended one of country music’s most influential artists, Buck Owens. Over the years, with Buck’s encouragement, Jeff continued to develop as a performer and eventually found himself earning a living as a musician himself.
When Buck Owens passed away on March 26, 2006, Jeff decided to keep his musical spirit alive by presenting an honorary show featuring many of Buck’s greatest hits such as “Tiger By The Tail,” “Act Naturally,” “Together Again,” to name a few.
“Jeff Sallee’s Classic Country Review” plays on various dates at the Gene Williams Theater in Branson.
