Kenny Oliverio, SoWal musician with Dread Clampitt, recently passed away unexpectedly. Kenny is going to be missed by so many friends, locals, visitors and music lovers. The community is mourning but pulling together as so many friends share photos and stories on social media, and tonight on Grayton Beach in a celebration of life.
I love how the local community has pulled together to grieve, share and celebrate one of their own.
Kenny is well known for his music with Dread Clampitt (The Red Bar and many venues along the coast). He also played with Duke Bardwell's Old Bull Young Bulls band at Stinky's in the off season, and you could also catch him performing solo at Grayt Coffee House and other intimate spots around town. He was a gifted singer and songwriter who could play many instruments. Someone recently said that he could play anything and never wrote down a single note or word of it.
Thanks for being part of our community and bringing us great music. Peace to you.
Dread Clampitt at Suwannee Springfest 2013. Balder, Kyle and Kenny.
