RIP Oliver Tree - Drunk Monk - 06-15-2026
I don't really know him but he was scheduled to play the Quarry in August (when I'll be in Japan with Tara) and JM was tapped to provide for that show, which they thought would sell out. He's from the Cruz, allegedly from c-brite (my hood) and from little research I did on him when this first came up, he was quite odd. He played OSL in '22 but we didn't see him. His roots are in dubstep & ska. He died in a horrific helicopter crash in Brazil on his first world tour. Footage of the crash is on the web. A lot of my socials lit up with his passing - all the Cruz music platforms are in grief, including some of my reggae feeds.
Yesterday, one of my Quarry crew shared the news and we reached out to the rest of the crew. It's shocking, even though none of us followed him. I was a bit worried for that show because it was the only Quarry show I wouldn't be at in person. Sadly I don't have to worry now.

Hung out with my son on father's day. Turns out my son went to school w/Tree and was an acquaintance. They knew each other. Weren't particularly close, but he was a little philosophical about it and we had a nice chat...
