Sixpence None the Richer began taking shape in New Braunfels, Texas in the early ‘90s, when
guitarist Matt Slocum met vocalist Leigh Nash at a church retreat. The group recorded a demo
before eventually signing with R.E.X. Records. Their debut LP, The Fatherless & the Widow,
appeared in 1993 and their sophomore effort, 1995’s This Beautiful Mess won a Dove Award
and was followed by the Tickets for a Prayer Wheel EP.
In 1997, Sixpence None the Richer released their self-titled album and two years later exploded
globally when the track “Kiss Me”, from that album, was released as a single. The song has
been featured in countless movies and TV shows and catapulted Sixpence None the Richer’s
starpower into the mainstream, earning airplay in more than ten different countries.
Accolades continued as the band’s rendition of the La’s “There She Goes” also became a major
hit. In fall 2002, Sixpence None the Richer returned to form with Divine Discontent. The band’s
cover of the Crowded House classic “Don’t Dream It’s Over” pushed Sixpence None the
Richer’s name back into the charts in early 2003. Although the group quietly disbanded in 2004,
they remained active as individuals and continued to release music periodically, including the
albums Dawn of Grace and Lost in Transition.
Fast forward to 2024 and all-original members (Leigh Nash, Matt Slocum, Dale Baker, and
Justin Cary) have reunited and are writing and recording new music and preparing for a world
tour. As a taste of the new music, you can hear “The Tide” released in late 2023 as Leigh Nash
+ Sixpence None The Richer, which has already amassed over 2 Million views and streams
across platforms. Curb Records is also celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the band’s self-titled
(Kiss Me) album by re-releasing it in a collectible vinyl series that also features the new track,
“The Tide”.
Sixpence None The Richer has helped shape the musical landscape across generations and
are gearing up for an exciting road ahead.
