Sixpence None The Richer

Due to the death of bassist Justin Cary, all shows have been canceled. Statement from the band:
“We are completely heartbroken over the tragic and untimely loss of our bandmate, brother-in-arms, and friend of 30 years, Justin Cary. The past three years had been filled with international tours, recording new music, and an even deeper appreciation for the joy of making music together. We were looking forward to connecting with new and old fans around the world this summer and fall, but for now we need time to pause and grieve. With heavy hearts, we are canceling all remaining tour dates for 2026.” — Leigh Nash, Matt Slocum (Sixpence None The Richer)

For an entire generation of 90s couples, it’s arguably the ultimate love song: Sixpence None The Richer enchanted millions of fans with their global hit “Kiss Me”—and are now back, more united, more mature, and with unbroken energy.
The band was founded by singer Leigh Nash and guitarist Matt Slocum, who met in New Braunfels, Texas, before moving together to Nashville—the heart of the American music scene. After drummer Dale Baker joined the band, they recorded their debut album, “The Fatherless and The Widow,” released in 1994. Their distinctive blend of driving indie rock and introspective songwriting quickly won over enthusiastic fans. Just one year later, their second album, “This Beautiful Mess,” was released, and in 1997, after several lineup changes, bassist Justin Cary rounded out the permanent quartet. Their self-titled album and the accompanying single “Kiss Me” marked their international breakthrough: The song was nominated for a Grammy, topped the U.S. singles charts thanks to the cult rom-com “She’s All That” (known in Germany as “Eine wie keine”), and has amassed over 1.2 billion Spotify streams to date. A global hit that endures to this day. In 1999, the band followed up with their cover version of “There She Goes” (by The La’s), which became their second worldwide hit single. After label-related delays, “Divine Discontent” was finally released in 2002, featuring drummer Rob Mitchell for the first time, who replaced Dale Baker. To pursue solo projects, Sixpence None The Richer initially disbanded in 2004. But they reunited as early as 2007 and released “The Dawn of Grace” (2008) and “Lost in Translation” (2012), before things quieted down again for the band. In October 2024—twelve years after their last release—they followed up with their acclaimed comeback EP, “Rosemary Hill.” At the same time, they returned to the stage with a major U.S. tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary—featuring the original lineup of Leigh Nash, Matt Slocum, Dale Baker, and Justin Cary. In October 2026, German fans will finally have something to look forward to: Over the course of four exclusive concerts, Sixpence None The Richer will prove that, 25 years after their formation, they’re better than ever.
