Reunited Rockers Sixpence None the Richer Bring First Tour in Over a Decade to Exit/In Tonight, Oct. 27

Formed in the early ’90s in New Braunfels, Texas, alt pop rockers Sixpence None the Richer released two early albums to some modest success in the Christian rock space, before 1997 third LP, eponymously titled Sixpence None the Richer, catapulted them into superstardom (albeit more than a year after its initial release) thanks to the massive success of signature single “Kiss Me” and a cover of the La’s’ “There She Goes.” Entering the new millennium massively successful, with Grammy nominations, late night television appearances, world tours, platinum sales, and chart-topping hits, the band continued to deliver excellent pop rock and alternative stylings with 2002’s Divine Discontent, though not long after, in 2004, they abruptly disbanded, going on to pursue solo careers and new projects. The split wouldn’t last long though, with most members returning in 2007, and releasing both a new EP and Christmas album the following year. The group’s first original full-length in a decade, Lost in Translation, wouldn’t arrive in 2012, which was also around the time they last properly toured (including their last outing in Nashville, way back in the summer of 2012).

Though they never formally split a second time, Sixpence have been largely inactive since 2013, with most members now based in Nashville, and continuing to make music with other ventures. Last year, however, optimism began to build for a return when frontwoman Leigh Nash released a new single, “The Tide,” credited as a collaboration with Sixpence None the Richer. Not long after, a formal return was revealed, featuring the band’s core, self-titled late ’90s lineup of Nash, guitarist and writer Matt Slocum, bassist Justin Cary, and drummer Dale Baker together for the first time in over 20 years (Baker initially departed in the early 2000s, and hadn’t been part of the lineup since). Proving to be a proper reunion, the foursome also hit the studio together, releasing in the first new Sixpence record in over a decade (and first with this lineup since since 2002), an EP called Rosemary Hill, released earlier this month, and recapturing the spirit and sound of the band at their best.

In celebration, and also for the first time in over a decade, Sixpence None the Richer just kicked off a lengthy tour, billed as a 25 anniversary (ostensibly for their self-titled album, which though technically dropped 27 years ago, didn’t enter the mainstream zeitgeist until 1999, and just got a new deluxe vinyl re-pressing), bringing them back to Nashville for the first time in years tonight, Oct. 27 at Exit/In with singer-songwriter Anna Vaus! Tickets are still available right here while they last, and though we very much hope this reunion sticks, whether you’re an old fan from back in the day or someone who discovered Sixpence in their absence, we wouldn’t recommend ever passing up a rare chance to see them live.

Sixpence None the Richer and Anna Vaus will perform tonight, October. 27 at Exit/In. The show is 18+, begins at 8 p.m. (doors at 7 p.m.), and tickets are available for $45.14.
