We're excited to feature Lacy McClary painting live at Alair Home's Canvas & Chords experience on Saturday, September 27th. Tickets available at the link below. Lacy has created her beautiful artwork out of two local studios over the last 18 years. Recently losing both her Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach studios in Hurricane Ian has not deterred Lacy from touching the community with her color and inspiration. She recently donated her time for painting the Legacy Tower in Times Square on Fort Myers Beach to bring color, hope and life back to the beach she loves so much. She is currently accepting commission work as she transitions into her future studio. Lacy has a fierce love of the islands, the water and our local community. She loves to give back and help whenever possible. Let Lacy’s abstract view point guide you to look past the broken and see the beautiful. Lacy’s hope is that her work inspires joy and a fresh perspective on the beauty that surrounds us.

Madison Morris is a dynamic artist who, as a two-time Grammy submitted singer-songwriter, focuses on bringing his storytelling nature to light over the top of an Americana sound. His passion for music can be seen in any one of his more than 200 live performances throughout the year as a full-time musician.

"We're All Still Here", which he co-wrote with his wife, was written in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian after being displaced from their home and losing so much. This song was included on the official ballot for Grammy consideration in 2023. The newest single, “Hard Rain”, was released in July of 2024 and has also been recognized with a Grammy consideration in 2024 and is currently nominated for a Josie Award for Americana Song of the Year.  Madison has also officially launched his band, Madison Morris & the Stringfellows, in October 2024.

Stephen Clark is a storyteller. Sometimes he uses a TV camera; sometimes it’s a guitar. Either way Stephen’s passion is to tell a good story well. A veteran TV journalist and news anchor for four decades, his job took him to the far reaches of the Earth covering the stories that have shaped our lives. From wars in Bosnia and Somalia, to the Rodney King riots in the streets of LA. From earthquakes, wildfires, floods and blizzards, to the 9/11 attack on America Stephen has been there to tell the stories of the people caught in the middle. He brings that same journalist’s sense of story to the songs he writes. The adventures of people caught in the middle of life. Stephen’s musical life started long before his television career. A self confessed “band nerd” he survived high school by hunkering down in the band room learning to play every instrument he could get his hands on. It got him into a competitive music program at the University of Northern Colorado. But, always a sucker for shiny things, the flashing lights and dials of the college radio and TV stations eventually lured Stephen into the journalism program. Thus began his parallel journalistic journey. Writing TV stories at night and songs later at night. The stories, whether spoken on camera or sung from behind a guitar, share a DNA but, while his TV stories were always true and accurate, his songs need only be true. He draws his stories and the characters in them from a life on the road as an Air Force “brat” (seven or eight moves before 8th grade), from the people he’s met during his TV and radio career (another seven or eight cities) and from his family and friends. He has a keen eye for detail, a feel for emotion and a sharp sense of humor and brings it all to bear in the songs he writes. Stephen retired from Detroit’s WXYZ TV in 2018 but immediately transitioned into a job hosting the classic rock morning show on WOMC radio. During the pandemic of 2020, Stephen retired a second time and relocated to the sand, sun and surf of Southwest Florida. Today when he and his wife Larenne aren’t traveling the world, he’s in Nashville honing his songwriting craft in their historic loft two blocks from the legendary Ryman Theater, or on a beach in Florida where his friends have learned that anything they say or do may very well become a song.
