Celebrated by legends such as Bruce Springsteen and Laurie Anderson alike, Garland Jeffreys was a true musical maverick. His iconic tracks, "Wild In The Streets" and "Don’t Call Me Buckwheat," became anthems for an adventurous and socially conscious America. Growing up mixed race in the vibrant melting pot of Coney Island, New York, Jeffreys went on to defy music industry labels and racism at a time of rigid categorization. He crafted everything from protest anthems and reggae grooves to heartfelt ballads and electrifying party hits - all infused with the joy and pain of personal experience. "Garland Jeffreys: The King of In Between" offers unprecedented access to Jeffreys, featuring unseen performances and personal archives, in a captivating journey of a musical powerhouse who broke all the boundaries.
