Sixpence None The Richer

Formed in the early 1990s in New Braunfels, Texas, Sixpence None the Richer became a defining force in the late-90s alternative pop-rock scene. The band, led by vocalist Leigh Nash and guitarist Matt Slocum, first gained widespread attention with their 1997 self-titled album, which included the global smash hit "Kiss Me." This romantic anthem, featured in films and TV shows worldwide, catapulted the band to international fame. Their covers of "There She Goes" by The La's and "Don’t Dream It’s Over" by Crowded House further solidified their reputation for crafting evocative, melody-driven songs.

After an initial disbandment in 2004, the band reunited for various projects, including the 2012 album Lost in Transition. In 2024, they reunited with original drummer Dale Baker and embarked on their "We Are Love" 25th Anniversary Tour. This return features new music, including the recently released EP Rosemary Hill, which reflects the band’s growth as songwriters and performers. Despite the years, Sixpence None the Richer continues to resonate with fans across generations, offering a timeless blend of heartfelt lyrics and lush arrangements.
