Rosemary Hill by Sixpence None The Richer

As the Rosemary Hill EP begins, Sixpence None the Richer’s first release since 2012, Leigh Nash sings, “In the eye of the storm, I’m gonna thread the needle.” Now three decades after Nash met her musical partner Matt Slocum in New Braunfels, Texas, Sixpence is threading the needle in the sweet spot they have often longed for throughout a stormy yet momentous career.

Sixpence None the Richer is a rock band. While primarily known for top-40 pop radio hits, Sixpence’s live show is full of guitar riffs, aggressive bass, and pounding drums. As their discography of six full-length albums and their new third EP Rosemary Hill reveals, Sixpence’s sound begins with Nash singing over Slocum’s guitar playing.

After having a global number one hit, Sixpence no longer
aspires for fame or fortune, and is not a nostalgia act. “We’re not interested in just cashing in on the past”, says Nash. Slocum adds, “Basically we want to keep making better records and writing better songs.”

Sixpence None the Richer, fronted by Leigh Nash and founded by Matt Slocum, emerged from New Braunfels, Texas, blending pop-rock melodies with introspective lyrics. Gaining fame in the late '90s with hits like "Kiss Me" and a cover of "There She Goes," their music encapsulates heartfelt narratives. Over the years, they've remained a beloved staple in the alternative pop scene.
