Sixpence None the Richer began taking shape in New Braunfels, Texas in the early 90s, when guitarist Matt Slocum met vocalist Leigh Nash at a church retreat. The group recorded a demo before eventually signing with R.E.X. Records. Their debut LP, The Fatherless & the Widow, appeared in 1993 and their sophomore effort, 1995's This Beautiful Mess won a Dove Award and was followed by the Tickets for a Prayer Wheel EP. In 1997, Sixpence None the Richer released their self-titled album and two years later exploded globally when the track "Kiss Me", from that album, was released as a single.

Accolades continued as the band's rendition of the La's "There She Goes" also became a major hit. In fall 2002, Sixpence None the Richer returned to form with Divine Discontent.
