This year, he returns with four award nominations. The 23-year-old is nominated for New Artist of the Year, Unsigned Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Video of the Year for "Work in Progress." Voting on the award show's website ends on Nov. 4 and the show will be held at the House of Blues in Boston in December. "It's a funny story," he said. "When I went last year I kept my ticket because I told myself I was going to come back and be nominated for at least one award. I never thought I'd be nominated for four." The multi-genre artist, who is pictured smoking on his BOSTON FENCE Facebook page, said he has been making music since he was young. He won fans last year with the release of his music videos for "TV Dinner" and "Work in Progress."

Clancy, who said he has been sober for five years, describes himself as an artist, an advocate for addiction recovery, and a survivor. He is the co-founder of New England Addiction Outreach (NEAO), a nonprofit whose mission is to support those struggling with substance abuse. He once worked as a community outreach coordinator and treatment advisor for Banyan Treatment Center in Wilmington. Before he went on tour last summer, Clancy's father died of cancer. "My dad's final wish, while he was in hospice, was that his services didn't conflict with the tour," he said. Following the tour, Clancy returned to Massachusetts and performed at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield. His father's funeral was the next day. A few hours later, he was back on the road, headed to his next show in North Carolina. "The only time I was able to mourn his loss was when I had a moment to myself on the tour bus during the late night drives," he recalled. While he said his work in addiction recovery means everything to him, stepping away from his day job was needed to focus on himself. Clancy said it's easy for anyone working to help people to get burnt out when they fail to take time to focus on their own mental health. "I spent so many years taking care of other people," he said. "I kept forgetting to take care of myself." Clancy said when his friends seek his advice, he shares his tales of recovery and the five years of highs and lows he has endured. "I don't want to be a martyr for recovery because I'm not perfect, no one's perfect," said Clancy. "I'm just an artist."
OCTOBER 25, 2018 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 3 City goes to the dogs By Thomas Grillo It took five years, but dogs and their owners arrived early as the gates opened at the city’s first dog park last week. And it couldn’t come at a better time for Kara VanSlyke and her pooch, Luna. “I’ve lived in Peabody my whole life, but this is my first dog and she’s changed my life completely,” she said. “To have a place for her to come, hang out and meet other dogs is absolutely awesome.” The Peabody elementary school special education teacher and her 8-year-old purebred husky joined dozens of dogs and their owners as the gates opened for the first time at the Peabody Dog Park on Perkins Street. Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr. credited the Friends of the Peabody Dog Park, and Jennifer Davis, the city’s director of the Recreation, Parks, & Forestry, for making the 2,500-squarefoot park a reality. “As I was coming over, I wondered if we would have more dogs or politicians at this ribbon cutting,” he said as a few dogs barked behind him. “I’m very glad to say we have more dogs.” The mayor said the effort by volunteers and City Hall to create the park is a welcome addition to Peabody given neighboring communities have dog parks. “It bothered many of us that we didn’t have our own dog park,” Bettencourt said. “It’s great to say we have one now, it’s beautiful, and I put it up against anybody’s.” The $250,000 park, complete with an unconnected redand-yellow fire hydrant, was funded mostly by the Stanton Foundation, a nonprofit established by Frank Stanton, the former president of CBS. One of its missions is to advance canine welfare. The Cambridge organization paid for the design at a cost of $24,000 and contributed $202,000 toward construction. Friends of the Peabody Dog Park raised $13,000, and the city’s Community Preservation Committee provided $11,000. Tammy Ross, president of Friends of Peabody Dog Park, said she started a Facebook group five years ago to attract a group of animal lovers interested in bringing a dog park to town.

There are benches for owners and a shelter for dogs on those hot summer days. “Dogs and their people, as I call owners, now have a great place to enjoy,” Bettencourt said. 3.00% APY* 30-Month CD Open at any of our offices in Newburyport, Beverly, Boxford, Gloucester, Hamilton, Ipswich, Middleton, Rockport, Rowley, Salisbury or Topsfield.
