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, driving bass, and pounding drums. Consisting of founding members, Leigh Nash (vocals) and Matt Slocum (guitars), along with breakthrough-era bassist, Justin Cary, the band is back and strong 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.
Formed in 1992 by Slocum and Nash in New Braunfels, Texas, Sixpence None the Richer reunited in 2024 with original members, and embarked on their first tour in nearly 20 years, performing in 50 cities across the U.S. and selling out iconic venues in Chicago, Nashville, New York, Washington, D.C., Santa Ana, West Hollywood, New Braunfels, Raleigh, and many more.
That same year, they released Rosemary Hill, their first new music since 2012. Paste Magazine praised the EP, writing, “Sixpence… are back and as catchy as ever. Rosemary Hill takes the band’s rock roots and pairs them with a bit of twangy, alt-tinged distortion.”
2025 saw the band touring internationally throughout Latin America, as well as joining Toad the Wet Sprocket and the Jayhawks on a U.S. Summer Tour. And 2026 will take them on their first-ever European tour, covering 24 cities.
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.”
Having once had a global No. 1 hit, Sixpence isn’t chasing fame or fortune, nor are they a nostalgia act. “We're not interested in just cashing in on the past,” says Nash. Slocum adds, “We’re trying to find the balance of experimenting and pushing our limits while still satisfying the people who have loved our music all these years. Basically, we want to keep making better records and writing better songs.”
Bassist Justin Cary describes the band as a family, with relationships between members taking priority. “We’re all more comfortable with each other now, just because we’ve lived through so much,” he says
In April 2025, Sixpence None the Richer released their first-ever live album as part of Record Store Day, Live at Gruene Hall, recorded at their sold-out hometown show at the legendary Gruene Hall—Texas’s oldest continuously operating dance hall.
For over three decades, Sixpence None the Richer has shaped the musical landscape across generations. With new music and a renewed creative drive, they continue to bring their songs—both old and new—to audiences worldwide.
