Leigh Nash

Leigh Nash performed with Sixpence None The Richer from the age of 14 until she was 27.  She formed Sixpence with guitarist and songwriter Matt Slocum after meeting at a church retreat.  The band reached major commercial success with the release of their self-titled album in 1998 and the single “Kiss Me” in 1999.  That same year they received numerous Dove Awards including Best Artist of the Year. The band also was nominated for a Grammy and followed up with their second hit single “There She Goes.”

Since her departure from Sixpence, Leigh released a solo album, “Blue On Blue,” as well as a Christmas compilation “Wishing For This.” In 2008, Leigh again joined with Matt Slocum to record the Christmas album “The Dawn of Grace” under the Sixpence name.  Living in Nashville, Leigh is currently working on a new album to be released in 2010.
