GRANT LIVINGSTON
A longtime Florida favorite, singer-songwriter Grant Livingston employs a little swing, a little singalong, environment, Florida history, relentlessly positive lyrics and a cast of peculiar characters. He has written about armadillos, barnacles, the invasion of the Everglades by Melaleuca trees and pythons, and how to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.
If you ask him, Grant will reveal, in song of course, the reason he always wears a hat! Grant has a long history of collaboration with our National Parks, State Parks, schools, libraries and environmental organizations. Grant was Artist
in-Residence at Everglades National Park, and partners with Storyteller and retired National Park Ranger Gary Bremen to present Songs and Stories of Our National Parks. Grant has taught songwriting at Miami-Dade College and along with fellow songwriter Janet Goodman, he coordinates the South Florida chapter of the Nashville Songwriters Association.
