Sixpence None the Richer is a rock band known for its distinctive blend of indie-rock and introspective songwriting. Their live performances are filled with guitar riffs, pounding drums and sophisticated melodies. Consisting of founding members Leigh Nash (vocals) and Matt Slocum (guitars), the band is back and stronger than ever after having not toured actively since 2013. Since 2024 the band has completed 2 full U.S. Tours (one as a headliner, and one in support of Toad the Wet Sprocket, as well as extensive touring in Latin America. Lead singer Leigh Nash shares her excitement, saying, “I want to come out swinging.”
With a discography spanning nine global album releases, including three albums released in 2024 and 2025 (Rosemary Hill , The Dawn Of Grace and Live At Gruene Hall), Sixpence’s sound remains anchored in Nash’s unmistakable vocals and Matt Slocum’s intricate guitar work. The band is perhaps best known for their hit singles, including Kiss Me —which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a top-10 hit in sixteen countries. Additional global hits include There She Goes , Breathe Your Name , and Don’t Dream It’s Over.
Kiss Me continues to grow in popularity, recently surpassing 1 Billion streams on Spotify—33% of those occurring in just the past year. The song frequently appears in Shazam’s weekly U.S. Top 200, is a regular viral moment on TikTok, and remains a staple in film, television, and advertising worldwide. In July 2024, Kiss Me was certified triple platinum by the RIAA, marking a remarkable resurgence; it went double platinum in 2023, following its initial platinum certification in 1999.
Sixpence None the Richer has earned two Grammy Award nominations, multiple Dove Awards, and accolades such as “Top Soundtrack Single” at the Billboard Music Awards and “Best Song” at the Young Hollywood Awards. Their rendition of There She Goes by The La’s was also recognized as a BMI Pop Awards Top Song in 2001.
Reflecting on the band’s resurgence, Nash shares, “We’ve only gotten better—hopefully—at all of our crafts, our specific things that we do. So why would we stop? And that’s the encouragement… I like where I am right now, just as a human being, a mother, into my forties now. I like where I'm at. It’s weird. It’s kinda crazy. It’s a little off-balance, but it’s inspiring.”
