Sixpence None The Richer announce first tour with all original members in 20 years
Sixpence None The Richer have announced their first tour with all four original members in almost 20 years. Find all the information below.
The US alt-rock band, best known for their singles ‘Kiss Me’ (1998) and ‘Breathe Your Name’ (2002), are due to hit the road in the US this autumn for their ‘We Are Love’ 25th anniversary trek.
It has been confirmed that the full original line-up – Leigh Nash, Matt Slocum, Dale Baker and Justin Cary – will perform at the upcoming shows, which are set to coincide with new music from the group.
Sixpence None The Richer’s 2024 US reunion tour will include stops in Memphis, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and other locations.
Tickets go on general sale tomorrow (Friday June 14) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. See the announcement post below, as well as the full itinerary.
Sixpence None The Richer’s sixth and most recent studio album, ‘Lost In Transition’, was released in 2012.
Looking ahead to the next chapter, frontwoman Leigh Nash said: “I am beyond grateful to be making new music with my bandmates again and cannot wait to bring it to our longtime fans – and new ones as well.”
Lead guitarist Slocum added: “I would say that making new Sixpence music has felt like picking up where we left off close to 20 years ago, but everyone in this band has grown and become better musicians, better writers, better performers, and we are making better music as a result.”
Last September saw Nash and Slocum team up for the single ‘The Tide’, which arrived under the banner ‘Leigh Nash + Sixpence None The Richer’. This May, Nash confirmed that the reunited band had signed a new deal with Flatiron Recordings.
