Sixpence’s major hit Kiss Me spent three weeks at #1 in Australia in June 1999, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a Top 10 hit in sixteen countries. Additional global hits followed with There She Goes , Breathe Your Name , and their cover of Crowded House’s Don’t Dream It’s Over .
Sixpence None the Richer’s sound remains anchored by founding members Leigh Nash’s unmistakable vocals and Matt Slocum’s intricate guitar work. The band’s live performances are filled with guitar riffs, pounding drums, and sophisticated melodies.
With a discography spanning nine global album releases, including their platinum-certified album Sixpence None the Richer , as well as three albums released in 2024 and 2025 ( Rosemary Hill, The Dawn of Grace , and Live at Gruene Hall ), the band is headed to Australia stronger than ever. Lead singer Leigh Nash shares her excitement, saying, “I want to come out swinging.”
Kiss Me continues to grow in popularity, recently surpassing 1 billion streams on Spotify, with more than a third of those occurring in the past year alone. 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 and television 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 recognised as a BMI Pop Awards Top Song in 2001.
Reflecting on the band’s resurgence, Nash shares, “We’ve only gotten better 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. It’s weird. It’s kinda crazy. It’s a little off-balance, but it’s inspiring.”
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.
