O’ Night Divine: A Sixpence Christmas by Sixpence None The Richer

Sixpence None The Richer is bringing their "O' Night Divine" Christmas show to the Pullo Center at Penn State York at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 19.

Sixpence None the Richer began taking shape in the early ’90s in New Braunfel, Texas, when guitarist Matt Slocum met vocalist Leigh Nash at a church retreat. The duo recorded a demo before eventually signing with R.E.X. Records. Their debut LP, "The Fatherless & The Widow," was released in 1993, followed by their sophomore effort, 1995’s "This Beautiful Mess," which won a Dove Award. The "Tickets for a Prayer Wheel" EP soon followed.

In 1997, Sixpence None the Richer released their self-titled album, and two years later, they skyrocketed to global fame when “Kiss Me” was released as a single. The song has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, placing the band in the elite “Billions Club.” Remarkably, more than 33% of those streams occurred in 2024, demonstrating the song’s continued reach to new audiences and sustained growth in popularity.

Sixpence None the Richer has helped shape the musical landscape across generations and continues to bring their music, both new and old, to audiences worldwide.
