Florida Feels Like Home in “Livin Like a Local” by Liz Nash

There’s something so endearing when artists choose to write about the places and people they know by heart. That’s exactly what Liz Nash does in Livin Like a Local, an irresistibly feel-good ode to community and belonging.

Liz Nash is an artist from the quirky little town of Mount Dora, Florida. She’s now back with Livin Like a Local, for those who want to experience the Sunshine State through an inviting, thoughtfully crafted music.

Livin Like a Local got that upbeat, warm energy spilling off right from the start. It’s as if Nash is showing you around an unfamiliar town while assuring you you’ll fit right in. The sun-soaked melodies will instantly put you at ease. And when she sings, “‘Cause there’s nothing better than living like a local”, it felt like you were already a part of the neighborhood.

While others try to sing about the same old themes, Nash celebrates something far less common in songwriting: community, and the joy of belonging to one. Apart from her distinct, feel-good sound that nods to her Paul Simon influences, you’ll also get her earnest songwriting that leaves a big impression.

As the fourth release from her Florida Songs collection, Livin Like a Local feels less like a single and more like a page torn from her hometown’s diary that is full of stories worth singing about.
