• Leigh Nash was born in New Braunfels, in the hill country south of Austin, Texas. Relocated in Nashville, the former Sixpence None the Richer frontman told Billboard magazine the title track of her third solo album takes her back home. "There is a recurring theme on this album of being homesick," she said. "I'm always missing Texas and feeling torn between the home I came from and the one I've built in Tennessee. So in that way, 'The State I'm In' seemed like an appropriate title track. It covers a lot of ground. The song itself does as well - there's a little Spanish in there and some awesome Mariachi horns that remind me of home."
