About

Sixpence None the Richer is an American alternative pop-rock band formed in the early 1990s in New Braunfels, Texas, by guitarist Matt Slocum and vocalist Leigh Nash, who met at a church retreat. Their self-titled 1997 album broke them into the mainstream, driven by the global hit "Kiss Me" - a song that has since crossed one billion streams on Spotify and earned RIAA Triple Platinum certification. The band's name comes from a passage in C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, and their sound blends jangly indie pop, dream pop, and Christian rock influences. After disbanding in 2004 and reuniting twice, the original lineup - Nash, Slocum, Dale Baker, and Justin Cary - came back together fully in 2024, releasing the EP Rosemary Hill and their first-ever live album, Live at Gruene Hall, in April 2025.
