See below for the full schedule. Stop by, grab your official festival shirt, and say hello to the Tunaskin team while you’re there!
About the Artist
Across Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach, Lacy McClary paints the coast the way a songwriter composes a hit—leading with raw color, reflecting on personal experience, and leaving a lasting hook. Since opening her studio in 2004, her work has drawn life from barrier island light, drifting sailboats, and that quiet pause when the sunset meets the Gulf.
Music has always been part of Lacy’s creative process. Growing up in a family shaped by western swing—her grandfather played with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys—instruments were as common as paintbrushes. Today, a baby grand piano remains central to her studio workspace.
This official Island Hopper Songwriter Fest shirt brings the life and color from Lacy's art and inspired from her original painting, “Blues Traveler” into the crowd. Partnering with Tunaskin, Lacy McClary Studio and Gallery transforms original island artwork into high-performance festival apparel designed to travel seamlessly from Captiva and Cape Coral to downtown Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach, it is a portable piece of the islands meant to be lived in from the opening chord to the final performance.
