SIX PENCE NONE THE RICHER

While it may seem like just yesterday that this sparkling Nashville-based quartet swept onto the scene with their breakthrough self-titled album - featuring the Grammy-nominated number one hit Kiss Me and its smash follow-up There She Goes - it was actually in the late ‘90’s when they first burst onto the spotlight. The original quartet, which included lead singer Leigh Nash, guitarist Sean Kelly, bassist Justin Cary, along with co-founder and chief songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Matt Slocum, has been augmented with new drummer Rob Mitchell and keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden.

The lesson to be learned from Sixpence's infectious and accessible sound is that great pop music can carry real time messages of love and loss, fear and faith, both personal and universal. "There's spiritual content in a lot of my songs," reveals Matt. "It comes from trying to be honest about the issues of life. But it also comes more in the form of asking questions than giving answers." Their most current offering to the music world is Divine Discontent. A collection of twelve original tracks from a band who has almost single-handedly redefined the embracing and uplifting potential of pop music.
