Liz Nash continues her celebration of Florida’s unique identity with “Livin Like a Local,” the fourth single from her upcoming Florida Songs album. Released on July 3, 2026, the track paints an inviting picture of everyday life in the Sunshine State through an energetic, feel-good approach that instantly draws listeners into its welcoming atmosphere. Inspired by a simple conversation with a fellow songwriter, Nash transforms an ordinary phrase into a memorable anthem that embraces community, humor, and regional pride.

The recording benefits from a talented group of collaborators who bring warmth and texture to every moment. Paul Gonzalez’s percussion, Oskar Cartaya’s bass, and John Marsden’s electric piano blend seamlessly with Nash’s guitar and expressive performance, creating a polished arrangement rich in personality. Recorded in Orlando with additional sessions in Los Angeles, the production balances crisp instrumentation with an organic charm that reflects Nash’s admiration for Paul Simon’s thoughtful storytelling and carefully crafted arrangements. Every instrument has room to breathe, allowing the song’s inviting spirit to flourish without feeling overproduced.

Nash has built a reputation for turning small-town experiences into engaging narratives, and “Livin Like a Local” strengthens that identity. Rather than presenting Florida through familiar tourist clichés, she highlights the everyday moments that define local life. The playful interaction between residents and newcomers creates a light-hearted atmosphere that feels genuine, while the welcoming message ensures everyone is invited to join the experience. It is easy to understand why audiences have embraced the song during live performances, even affectionately renaming it “Drinkin’ Like a Local.”

As Nash continues unveiling her Florida Songs collection, this release reinforces her commitment to preserving the character of her home state through engaging songwriting and vibrant performances. With memorable melodies, engaging storytelling, and a sincere appreciation for community, “Livin Like a Local” stands as another enjoyable chapter in a project dedicated to celebrating the people, places, and spirit that make Florida feel like home.
