Sixpence None the Richer began in New Braunfels, Texas when guitarist Matt Slocum met vocalist Leigh Nash at a church retreat in the early 90’s. Their debut LP, The Fatherless & the Widow, appeared in 1993 and was followed by their Dove Award winning sophomore effort, 1995’s This Beautiful Mess. After the success of that album, Tickets For A Prayer Wheel – featuring B-sides, original compositions and cover songs – was released in 1996.
Signing to the small indie label Squint Entertainment In 1997, the band released their self-titled album featuring the hit single Kiss Me. Universally adored and responsible for catapulting the band into world-wide mainstream success, the song has been and continues to be featured in countless movies, tv shows, soundtracks, and commercials. To celebrate the albums 25th Anniversary, Curb Records re-released this record as a collectible vinyl series in early 2024. The double album features remastered original album tracks, acoustic versions of their biggest hits (Kiss Me and There She Goes), and The Tide, a new song by Leigh Nash and Sixpence currently with over 2 Million views and streams across platforms.
Reuniting as a band in early 2024 with original members Leigh Nash, Matt Slocum, Dale Baker, and Justin Cary, Sixpence None the Richer looks forward to creating new music, touring the world and engaging with their loyal and diverse, multigenerational fan base.
