RIP, David Olney

Olney was remembered by singer-songwriter Amy Rigby, who was performing alongside him at the 30A Songwriters Festival where he died.

"Olney was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologized and shut his eyes," Rigby wrote in a Facebook post. "He was very still, sitting upright with his guitar on, wearing the coolest hat and a beautiful rust suede jacket we laughed about because it was raining like hell outside the boathouse where we were playing- I just want the picture to be as graceful and dignified as it was, because it at first looked like he was just taking a moment.

A native of Rhode Island, Olney moved to Nashville in 1973 and later formed the rock group The X-Rays. His first solo album,, was released in 1986. The artist would go on to release more than two dozen albums over his solo career, according to theOlney is survived by his wife Regine, daughter Lillian, and son Redding. Memorial details were not yet available at press time.
