Music Maven’s Pick of the Week: Locash’s “Hometown Home”

A heartfelt birthday pick, this song captivated Diana not only for its melodic charm but also for the meaningful message behind its lyrics.

Locash, the American country duo comprising Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, has been crafting hits and winning hearts since 2008. Known initially as Locash Cowboys, the group streamlined their name in 2015, marking a new chapter in their journey. “Hometown Home,” their latest single, continues to build on a storied career filled with chart-toppers and innovative collaborations.

“I call it my birthday pick of the week,” says Diana. “The lyrics resonate with anyone dreaming of falling in love, creating a life together, and spreading love no matter where they go. From Chicago to Birmingham, England, or even the Philippines, the song inspires you to make your hometown home with the people you love.”

A Decade of Country Music Excellence

Locash has consistently delivered hits, including “I Love This Life” and “I Know Somebody,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 2016. The duo has also made waves as songwriters, co-writing Keith Urban’s “You Gonna Fly” and Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah.” Their infectious energy and feel-good sound have earned them nominations, including the Academy of Country Music’s New Duo or Group in 2017. They are recognised as one of country music’s most iconic duos.

Most recently, the duo expanded its reach by launching its own record label, Galaxy Label Group, in partnership with BBR Music Group and BMG Nashville. “With so many accomplishments, it’s surprising I only discovered them recently,” admits Diana.

“After seeing snippets of ‘Hometown Home,’ I couldn’t resist adding it to my playlist,” she says.

The track is more than a love song; it’s a universal anthem for embracing one’s roots while spreading love wherever life takes you. For Diana, it’s the perfect reminder to cherish where you come from and the people who make it special.
