Singer David Olney Dies During Performance at Florida’s 30A Festival

The late Townes Van Zandt famously said of Olney: “Any time anyone asks me who my favorite music writers are… I say Mozart, Lightnin Hopkins, Bob Dylan and Dave Olney. Dave Olney is one of the best songwriters I’ve ever heard — and that’s true. I mean that from my heart.”Harris, in particular, brought attention to Olney as a songwriter with her covers of “Jerusalem Tomorrow” in 1993 and “Deeper Well” on her essential 1995 album “Wrecking Ball.

He had just completed a new album. Brett Ryan Stewart wrote on his Facebook page: “Yesterday, myself, Arana and Irakli had spent the day making final revisions to the album we made with David Olney. In the very same moment that we hit the save button, collectively yelling ‘We did it!,’ we got the news that David, who was in Florida performing, had passed away, on stage. It’s all very surreal.I am so grateful for our time together. I recognized a kindred spirit in him from day one.

Olney was doing his third performance of the fest when he passed away, having performed the previous night in-the-round with Amelia White and Mary Bragg before his solo show Saturday afternoon. He was also scheduled to appear this week at the Folk Alliance gathering in New Orleans. Olney is survived by his wife, Regine, daughter, Lillian, and son, Redding. Services have not yet been set.

And heartfelt prayers My condolences to all whom have known and loved him God Bless 🙏💔
